Fri Mar 28 13:15:29 -0700 2008 18477 jamesm 1 3539319 Have you tried oven cleaner? Fri Mar 28 20:03:32 -0700 2008 3538008 119412 afoodyear 2 3561234 Oven cleaner's always worked for me. How much rust are you talking about though? Fri Apr 04 09:39:04 -0700 2008 3539319 161635 wildfire 3 3561520 Oven cleaner does a great job but I try to stay away from the obvious toxins. Simple green is by no means inert, but does a fine job on grease as well as rust and has 1/2 the toxins as oven cleaner.You will still have to burn off any remaining residue by cranking up the grill, but I feel a little more assured that after,I won't be grilling with a oven cleaner aftertaste.

Buy a few two litre bottles and soak whatever it is in the soda, in an hour or two, RUST IS GONE !!!

Or is that just a old wives tale? Sun Apr 06 12:41:42 -0700 2008 3565381 151072 currymouth 3 3567496 Don't think I am gonna experiment that one, I need all the ones I have left. But really I have done this before with some old wrenches I bought at a flea market, put them in an old mop bucket and after a few hours and a little steel wool, like new. Sun Apr 06 14:49:14 -0700 2008 3567166 51489 Jimbosox04 1 3612860 I use Bar Keeper's Friend for all rust problems... It's abrasive, so don't use a scrubber, but a cloth will be sufficient, as oxalic acid is a really effective rust remover. And it's cheap, less than $3 at WalMart. Also, oil it after use to prevent future rust Sun Apr 20 15:57:24 -0700 2008 3538008 141035 oryza 1 3613251 I always used a wire brush followed by a good wiping with a wet rag, no residue or toxins and always worked fine. Sun Apr 20 18:49:39 -0700 2008 3538008 12867 BluPlateSpec 1 3613661 What type of grill, and what part is currently rusted? Not clear if you are asking about a round charcoal grate or grates for a gas grill. Sun Apr 20 22:02:10 -0700 2008 3538008 153308 souvenir
