Rouge, Electro tanks are easy to setup. I say go for it. All you need is an old manual battery charger or an old AT computer PS and you are more than half way there.
It can also remove old seasoning in time so you may not need a lye bath. Lye bath is easier and no power needed. You can also throw a piece in the Lye bath and forget it for months and not have to worry about it harming the iron.

If you can post a pic I may be able to see what you are dealing with.
It is my understanding that pure carbon will not be removed by Lye. Electrolysis will usually get the last of it off. I usually go from Lye bath to electrolysis.
Did that BSR warp are just needs re-seasoning? BSR is tough stuff just like Lodge.

Rip, i hate to sound like a broken record but i have been told to not use the self cleaning oven. There is a chance of warping.
Remember the larger the piece the better chance it can warp.
I am seasoning a #10 BSR skillet as we speak...err type that is a spinner. it is warped and has no collector value. It can still be used in the oven and probably a gas stove but with an electric burner it would not heat evenly.

My BSR did not warp after I used it on the commercial gas grill, the seasoning just took some abuse after I washed it in hot water and with a stiff plastic brush. Bottom was worse than the cooking surface. It will be fine, just pissed that I have to start over on that pan because it was like glass. Dumb move on my part.
I will try to get some photos of the other BSR that belongs to my wife's friend. Afraid it may be pitted all over as the texture is weird, but it is not warped. Definitely has rust issues as well. Surprised she didn't kill herself cooking with it. Honestly never seen anything like it.
Thanks.

Here's a link to some pics of the #7 BSR. I will add that the bottom on both sides is smooth, but the walls and the handle have a very grainy texture. The bottom is also flat and does not spin. It looks like this after two treatments of Easy Off heavy duty.
ETA: Sides and handle have similar texture of a new Lodge but bottom and cooking surface feel smooth like an old BSR should.
