Got access to a sandblaster?

oil her up, wipe it dry and cook on high heat until the fire department shows up from all the smoke.

Or so I think I have read on here.

And in the name of all that is good and holy, do it outside.

First, you can try to scrape off whatever crud you can and hit it with a wire brush, if necessary.

if you want a reason to drink beer outside for a couple hours..... we usually get a few pots together clean em real well and build a fire. Good reason to get the guys together. If you boil salt water in it prior to burning it will get all the impurities and shite off the pot. cover with lard or oil and throw it in the fire, well set it in the fire.

How many times should I oil and heat to get it back to cooking status?

Once...then fry something in it for good measure and it'll be good to go.

Cover with bacon fat and stick it in your bbq pit if you can. I will never do it inside again.
