Thanks Jack
I didn't figure navel jelly was a good idea but I don't have any on hand to
look at.
I was leaning towards elbow grease and a wire brush but was hoping that
there might be some magical easy way out there.
My grandmother used to season her iron skillets on a brush fire with lard.
She claims that no other fire gets hot enough to properly season iron. I
never saw her skillets get rusty and they had a surface like a non-stick
pan. I figure if it worked for skillets it ought to work for my grates. I
just got in too much of a hurry and didn't do it before I started using
them.
BTW these grates are made from the same stuff that you see welded to the
sides of towers and placed over holes as walking grates so I am not worried
about damaging them
