    Cast Iron Restoration

    Oven cleaner, specifically the yellow cap EZ off cleaner is just lye. It's soap. Strong soap, but it's soap. Scrub the gunk off, wash it off, season it and go to town. I'm close to making a lye tank to go with my e tank to help keep the e tank a little cleaner. Dunk them in lye, then...
