DO NOT MEDIA BLAST IT!!! You can clean it well with oven cleaner...spray liberally, then place in a black garbage bag, sealed, for a week or so in a warm area. If it needs a second treatment, then do it. After rinsing, place in a white vinegar/water bath to stop the flash rusting. Then, go about reseasoning it however you find best...I use bacon fat, and season it numerous times.

I have a side business where the wife and I pick up old CI items, clean and season them, then sell as users to those interested, or if they are old and interesting items, they are sold to collectors.
