so I may burn it bare and go from that point to properly season it.
Try the Easy-Off method of cleaning.
Get a garbage bag, spray piece down with yellow can of Easy-Off, wrap in bag and let it soak.
The yellow can still has lye.
Much safer and easier then burning it.

Is that a Lodge? Looks like the one I picked up at Goodwill a year ago. I put mine in the oven for an hour on Self-Clean mode, then reseasoned it.
I use if for steaks and burgers mainly, and it does a great job. I'm sure pork chops and chicken would do well too.
It is a bit more difficult to clean than flat-bottomed cast iron, but not bad. I use the cowboy method -- heat it until it is smokingm, then douse it in a sink filled with very hot water. With a brush, all the crap comes right off.
I would use a high smoke point oil to season it with.

I burned a big old brush pile a few months ago before the burn ban which I knew was coming and a friend brought 6 pieces and tossed them in. Fire burned for a week and I just kept pushing it up with the tractor pans and stumps. He came back and pulled them out and they were clean and smooth as a baby’s butt.
that sounds like a fun activity to partake in.
I've got a large fireplace i can put my pot in. Now i just need some cool weather so i can have a fire.

I like to put them in a good fire and just let everything burn off when they are like that and just build up from there.

PITA to clean.
I usually find it pretty easy to clean, depending on what I've cooked. After I'm done cooking and have taken the food out of the pan, I put it back on the stove on high heat and let it get really hot. Then I pour water into the pan. It instantly boils/steams and loosens the food that may be stuck to the pan. If food is still stuck to the bottom, I use a chain scrubber on it.

never use mine. PITA to clean.
You mean PITA to clean initially or each time?
