How to Clean Rusted Cast Iron Grill Grates

I’m back to start grilling on my Big Green Egg again, but my amazing Cast Iron grill grates from Craycort have rusted like no other. This was completely my fault and I should have taken the necessary steps to prevent this from happening.

Those steps are: keep your cast iron properly seasoned. The weather is not going to play nice with your grill and your cast iron, you need to make sure it is ready face high humidity which will cause your grates to rust.

To season your grates I applied multiple layers of almond, grape-seed, and coconut oil to the cast iron when I had a moderately hot fire going. The difference just a few hours can make was incredible.
