How good or bad is the current finish. For hygiene just wash with soap and water then blast in a hot oven for 30 minutes.
To strip and re season use a BBQ and build a fire under around and over it to burn off all the finish then wash and dry then re season.

@hugo7 I know but it could have been pissed on by a thousand cats. I had to do something.
@Grumpy_Git now it's looking great. I actually think I only got through a few layers of ancient seasoning. Probably why it still cooks so well despite my attacks. Either way I'm happy now. I won't go the nuclear route.

Maybe not the right thread, but for second hand cast iron cookware, would you bother taking the whole thing back to bare metal, or just give it a thorough soapy clean and reseason?
