Best way to clean Blichmann burner

[msa8967]

I loaned out my Blichmann burner to a buddy and he had a major wort overflow during the boil. Does anyone know of a good way to clean the exterior metal parts of the burner? I was thinking of trying to take it apart and soak it in oxyclean or pbw and water.

Wire brush the burner and if there is rust add some cooking oil and season like u would a castiron pan. The ss shroud use some sort of stainless steel cleaner barkeepers friend comes to mind.

Ditto on the Barkeeper's Friend. Use some on an old toothbrush to scrub the nooks and crannies.

The burnt sugar will eventually fade away even left untouched, but the odds are there are a lot of plugged up holes that are going to need to be reamed out...

Cheers!

I took everything apart and soaked it in pbw then did a second scrubbing of the stainless steel with bar keeps friend. Things cleaned up nicely but the burner components have much of the paint coming off. I was wondering if it would be trying to repaint the burner while everything else is apart. I was thinking of plugging the holes with toothpicks before spraying paint onto the burner components.

Why didn't your "buddy" clean it up before returning it??

My buddy is now cut off from borrowing equipment as well as getting beer from me until he makes amends for this.
