I went with the oven cleaner, testing it last night (with proper protection)
ate off the grease and the top layers of Depot applied paint. found that the
ones painted with hardened enamel were exposed in not too bad shape.
Thought about the drano, but will test further with the oven cleaner (no
heating drano here!)
Thanks for the warning, will leave the unstable chems to the experts.
regards,
Bill

IMNSHO, heated Drano is a REALLY BAD idea. Among other things it can
thermally
run away and splatter or worse. It also makes lots of Hydrogen which is
flamable
and/or explosive.
