I just bought a used Char Griller with the side firebox, it's in need of a little fixing up, and I thought you guys might be able to help.
It's pretty solid, but the wood is weathered and there is rust on the cooking grates, and on the inside and outside of the main chamber and firebox.
What is the best way to get this thing cleaned up and ready to go?
I was planning to use a wire brush or sandpaper on the outside, followed by a fresh coat of grill paint. Is this ok?
What is the best way to get the rust off the cast iron grates?
What about the rust on the inside of the main chamber and firebox? Wire brush? Something else? Can the inside be painted? If not, how do I protect it after the rust has been removed?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
