I got a used charcoal grill and the grate where you cook on is rusted…. It is a discontinued "San Diego Chargers" grill and an odd shape and the part you cook on is rusted. Is it possible to clean it?

steel wool

    Try a bottle of "CLR." It can be found at CVS, Walgreens, Eckerd's or any general drugstore. It removes Calcium, Lime, and Rust stains.

    Works great — from experience.

    Use gloves!

    From a walgreens website:
    Instantly removes calcium deposits from glassware, decanters, tea and coffee pots

    Instantly removes lime scales from coffee makers, humidifiers, tubs, toilets and sinks

    Instantly removes rust stains from stucco, brick, porcelain, chrome and metals

    CLR is a powerful formula for dissolving tough calcium and lime deposits and surface rust stains from tubs, toilet bowls, sinks, glass, chrome, fiberglass and stainless steel.

    Good Luck!

    Use a wire brush to scrape off the rust. A regular BBQ grill brush may work but a steel brush may work better & faster.

    First scrunch up a piece of Aluminum foil then spray some White Vinegar and leave on for about three to four hours then scrub with the vinegar and aluminum foil this will remove the rust and any baked on food or blackened charcoal buildup on the grill Good Luck !

    I would start by spraying it with oven cleaner and putting it into a black trash bag overnight. Then in the sink (or bathtub - too cold out to do it with the hose, this time ofyear!) rinse off th "goo".
    Next use steel wool (or one of those pumice bricks) to knock off the rust. Rinse then dry thoroughly
    If you are through with it for the season I would coat it with cooking oil (or spray) and store it in a (clean) trash bag - the idea being to prevent air from getting to wet metal.
