Anyone have a tip for this? I could just buy new, but would rather remove the rust. Suggestions?
Removing rust from cooking grates?

How is Fizzig, these days?
Anyway, if it's the charcoal grate...just steel wool and muscle or a power tool.
If it's the cooking grate, I think I would replace it...you're just fighting a loosing battle.

The regular nickel plated grates will eventually rust from normal use, but I used the original grate in my kettle for nearly 30 years before I broke down and replaced it. I cleaned it with steel wool or a wire brush, then oiled the grate and maintained it like you would a cast-iron frying pan. Or, as Mr. Hartwell said, buy a stainless steel replacement and be done with it.
