I'd say that looks like a success Clint. Pretty impressive and so far your garage didn't blow up or float away.

I'm very happy with how well its worked so far, especially on that rasp.  I didn't get time to soak the big skillet.  I'll get that done over the weekend.  I'm going to try some old rusty traps also.

I've got a griddle like that that I use all the time for grilled cheese samiches. Only butter on it and a wipe down well when still hot.

The wife and I cleaned two cast iron skillets and a griddle this past weekend.
We use a large pile of burning tree limbs.  Works well, they look like new after washing.
I am always scared that one of them will crack......  Never have had one to crack...  But still...

Stoker, there are a lot of videos on youtube about how this process works.  Check them out before you start and you will get some good ideas on how to make it.

I'm not sure how long the solution will be good for.  I'm going to clean up a few more things and then change it out.

I didn't test it out.  It felt sharp before I soaked it.  It was just very rusty.

I got the 10" skillet cleaned today.  I soaked it for 5 -6 hours and had to do a lot of scraping.  The inside walls were caked with black greasy buildup.  The water needs changed out.  I might try to clean a couple more pieces tomorrow before dumping it out.

What does a sandblaster do to cast iron pots? You must have one of them :D Just for getting the burnt on stuff off.

I don't have a sand blaster.  We have one at work but I'd never put anything in there that I planned on cooking with.
