Theres several grits also with the nylon wheels

I got the 80 grit option, for the rough work. I’m hoping it’s not too rough for the cookbox cleanup. I’ve found if I hit the bigger spots with a brush then toss it in the blasting cabinet for a more uniform finish.

I dont know if the nylon brushes will work on the cookbox interior.

I used it for the stamped stainless grates Larry gave me and it took forever.
 
I am using a wire wheel to take off the crud, but I’m not going to worry about making them look brand new shiny. I’m not trying to flip the grill so that kind of aesthetic isn't necessary.

I would encourage bright and shiny between the bars and grates and above, under there, a quick scrape and wire wheeling, send it.
 
What functional benefit does bright and shiny provide? If it's just for looks, I really don't feel like it's worth the time.
 
BC Deck: You and I have the same opinion for a grill that is a "keeper". But if you are going to rehab and flip the grill, you want bright and shiny because that is what customers want.

If it is a grill you plan to use, then just go a good cleaning and call it "pre-seasoned".
 
I know heat kills foodborne fungus. I was talking about foot fungus lol

I just don’t like the thought of some weird stuff having been cooked on a grill that I will be owning and using for years to come 🤷🏻‍♂️ others are cool with someone else’s “seasoning”

To each their own 🍻 but it’s still weird to me 🤣
 
I suspect a dirty firebox absorbs heat and a clean one reflects heat. How much of difference?

On the old grills I either get greaseballs on one end of the spectrum and dry ones with corrosion on the other end. I prefer the greaseballs - just scrape, burn off and brush

The dry ones tend to be brittle with oxidation residue.

I do know aluminum dust is not good for you so grinding is not for me. I would get it professionally sand blasted if it had to be restored to factory finish
