Rust removal

[danpeikes]

I am restoring an old SUMMIT 650 NG BLK (USA). Any recommendations for a chemical solution for getting rid of rust on flavorizers?Ideally something I can just soak them in.
I am also looking get the rust out of the fire box. I realize there I will likely need a spray on solution and possibly a mechanical solution.  Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
TIA,
Daniel

@Dave in KC @LightningBoldtz both of these guys know what they are doing on these gas grills I'm sure one will chime in and get you pointers

I am sorry I have never bothered trying to get the rust off of flavor bars.  If you are restoring to flip, I have heard evaporust works but I think it is really expensive.  If you are restoring for yourself why does it have to be perfect as they will get dirty after the first cook

Evaporust seems to do a decent job, but frankly, I would take an angle grinder with a wire cup brush
or a really abrasive pad to them.

For personal use.
Heavy duty putty knife or a trip through the self cleaning
cycle in the oven.  Warning!  Can produce lots of smoke.

As said.  First cook will color them and make em cruddy.

Who cares.
