I want to clean the grease from my stove grills that sit above the burners,
and then apply a high-heat flat black paint.

The grills are cast iron and are flat black. First, what's the best thing
to remove the grease. I've tried Simple Green, TSP, and and automitive
degreaser, but they still feel greasy. Next, what temperature do these
grills get heated to? I can purchase a high-heat automitive paint that is
good for 1200 F, but I have no idea if this is high enough.

Thanks,
Bruce

No paint will hold up on the grates. Best to oil them, season them, and let
them be. Besides, you don't want paint chips on your food.

Before you cook, turn the burner on high and let it rip for 10 minutes and
it will get rid of anything nasty, then just cook. Or clean them with heat
after and they are ready for the next time you cook. So what if they feel
greasy, they are sanitized.
