Well, this may belong in a different forum, but I'll try it here. Our pie irons were left out in the rain on our last camping trip (oops) and I'd like to get them looking good again. What would you suggest?

Wipe off any dirt.....coat with oil -- a very THIN coating and set in a warm barbecue -- if you could fit them in an oven, I'd say bake at 200 degrees for an hour....so make that consideration on the temp of the barbecue.

Removing Rust From Cast Iron
If you have an old pan that has rust, or just needs to be re-seasoned correctly, you will need to scour off the rust and/or existing seasoning. There are several popular methods, but here are the top three:
- Scrub off with a wire brush, or a wire wheel in a drill.
- Soak in Coca cola (minutes to hours depending on severity).
- Spray on oven cleaner and wrap in plastic bag overnight.
You can repeat any of these methods as needed for stubborn spots. Afterwards, wash in hot water and dish detergent and allow to dry as described above. You will then need to re-season them on the grill.
Good luck, no major harm done.

You can also use electrolysis to remove the rust with a simple setup.

This happened to us once too. A light brushing with a wire brush followed by a reseasoning did the trick. Good as new!

a sand blast will take it off or use a wire brush on a drill

Dee, he has to remove the rust first. If the handles are NOT removable, it can't go in the oven, either. It will have to be seasoned over a campfire or in a grill with the handles sticking out.
A dry SOS pad works wonders to remove light rust. I didn't believe it until I tried it!
Once the rust is gone, go ahead and re-season it.

thanks everyone -- I think I'll try a dry sos pad first out of convenience -- the handles are removable so they may make a trip into the oven too

Scrub them up to get rid of the rust as others have described.
We clean them in the kitchen sink at home, then immediately place them over a flame on the stove top to get rid of any moisture. Then we coat them in crisco shortening. Wipe them down to a light coat and place them each in a zip lock baggy ready for the next camping trip.
