Charcoal it is not, but carbon.
One thing that works, any alkaline liquid and let it sit over night.
There are liquids like Sokoff or Carb-Off, but they are very expensive=20
for what it is.
For the home, baking soda works and so does sudsy ammonia, just prevent=20
it from drying out (plastic bag) and give it time to soak, 24 hours is=20
not too long. Just don't etch the aluminium.
In the navy, we used Draino, that works, but etches the metal in a=20
hurry. :-)
Works on carbonized grease too.
