'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'.

I hear ya. New, Improved, Substitute, Odorless, Green mineral spirits
absolutely suck the big one.


What's a practical alternative? Gasoline?

Oops, I forgot to address this. Gasoline is the only cleaner I've
ever heard of igniting and immolating the user. I would never
recommend using gas to clean anything. Too volatile, stinky, toxic,
etc.
