Fire isn't the best method, that is old school. You can damage them that way. Best is either an electrolysis tank or lye bath.
Restored many of my mom's flooded piece with a lye bath for a couple weeks and then a vinegar bath. They look brand new

I'm literally a pryro maniac.
There is nothing no-one on this board can tell me about re-salvaging cast iron or fire.
I was making fires on our land while camping out as young as 8yrs old.
I've been saving and cleaning cast iron since I was 12 yrs old (30+ yrs)
You have to know how hot your fire is. Like I said it's a method and you have to know what you're doing, or yeah...
You can "crack" your cast iron.
.....Just sayin'
Eta: I'm not saying you're wrong, but there's more than one way to skin a cat.
