'Varnish Makers and Painter's' naptha is the only way
I've found for removing baked-on grease from metal surfaces:

It's disappeared from the shelves at all the hardware stores in
my area. Some now carry a 'substitute' product in gallon cans,
but I don't want to spend over 20 bucks and then have to drive
it to Hazmat Disposal if it works as well as do most
'substitutes'.

What's a practical alternative? Gasoline?

Thanks!

I've never had a problem removing such grease with "purple" industrial
degreaser.

Hydroxide based spray oven cleaners work quite well on stainless.

And yet another source for small quantities of naptha is ronson lighter
fluid.
