Is This Grill Salvageable?

The inside is actually in better shape than the outside.
Can anyone give me guidance?
What type of bit attachments do I need to grind off this rust?

I'd say it's worth the $7 you'll pay for it.

Metal looks really pitted. You could go after it with a flap disc or a wire wheel on an angle grinder if you want to see how bad the metal really is.

Are you poor?
Just go buy a new one.

Dang. Well I thought you were posting from a garage sale.
I'd use it. Wouldn't bother sanding or painting it though. It isn't long for this world. Might have 2 years left. If you heat it up real hot a lot of that rust will flake off.

Yes

I love this grill. However, porch is getting redone and real fancy looking and wife thinks this is too ugly to put on it. So I either have to make it pretty or spend at least $1000 on something that would be satisfactory for my demands.
If I can grind off most of the rust with some sort of attachment to my drill, and repaint the whole thing with the high-heat grill paint, that's ideal.
The only super-bad rust is what you can see on the door to the firebox.
The interior is in surprisingly good shape- shows I kept it well coated in pig grease on a regular basis. Unfortunately I didn't take as good care of the outside, and the deterioration happened so gradually that I didn't really notice it until it got this bad.
Any advice is appreciated.
By the way, I posted this here instead of OT Lounge for a reason.

Not worth the 3-4 hours your going to spend 'cleaning' it up. Time for a new one.

Tell me more about OSPHO...
ETA- thanks for the recommendation!

HOW SKYCO OSPHO WORKS
When applied to rusted surfaces, it resists/retards rust in chemical change on drying to a tough, hard surface ready for priming. A paint job will last longer after an application of OSPHO because subsequent paint coating securely attaches itself so that moisture and oxygen normally do not attack the metal. OSPHO is water-thin, can cover a larger area than paint, and goes on easily. It is equally effective for exterior and interior work alike. SKYCO OSPHO: a balanced formula of Phosphoric, Dichromate, Wetting Agents and Extenders . . . compounded exclusively by the Skybryte Company since 1947 ... recommended by paint manufacturers.

Scrape. Paint. Cook. Repeat
It wont last forever, but can at least do its job for another year or two with a little care

you'd be shocked at how much better you could make it look with a wide wheel and grinder. Go soft and slow till you get the hang of it
After that, prime and paint and roll with it. Paint covers up a lot of ugly

Ospho is an awesome rust inhibitor. Really good shite. You won't be sorry. Just pour some in a container and brush it on with a paint brush.

What a tight wad. Bet you have a lot of money. My Dad is the same way.

You've got a free pass to buy a new pit. No brainer for me. I'm doing a little homework and buying new.

Yes. It wouldn't be hard to do if you have the tools.
