How can I remove rust from BBQ grills?

Question

I inhereted a big home made very cool BBQ. I am in the process of trying to fix it up (prob hadnt been used in yrs.) sanded and painted outside but i have no idea how to remove rust from the two grills that can be used inside... Any ideas?

Answer 1

Don't work at it too hard.

Build a fire in the BBQ and heat the grills good and hot to burn off any old grease.  Let them cool and then scrub well with a steel wire brush to clean off any scale.

Spray well with PAM cooking spray.

Respray with PAM before every use.

The grills are going to rust between uses anyway.  Covering the BBQ will reduce it.

Answer 2

first  brush it with the metal brush (BBQ brush) then fill up a bucket with coca cola and let it soak you will see it shine ! no pepsi or other just coke !

Answer 4

Answer 5

You can first brush the grill with a wire brush (available at most Home Depots/Lowes). Fire up the grill and let as much of the rest burn off as possible.  Brush again while still very warm.  Once you get it clean as possible, coat it with olive oil and turn the grill on again. Let the grill rack season at low heat for about 30 min....  This should make keeping it rust free in the future a lot easier.  Just remember to clean the grill every time you use it and retreat with the oil coating/seasoning step each time.
