Got a Dutch oven pot, which has gotten rusty. Not a little spot of
rust, nor a bit of rust, but the "got left out in the rain far too
long" 100% coat of rust.

Naval Jelly to clean it up first, or just start with the wire
brush in a drill?

Or put it in the recycle bin?

Unless it's deeply pitted, it will work just fine.

Wet-sand it and wash it off in plain water, take it outside, put it on
a firebrick, and heat it to a red heat with a weed-burner.

Then it will season quite easily. I use Canola Oil.

--------------------------

The 2" HF right angle oscillating air sander I bought for auto body repair
stripped the rust with an abrasive pad from scrap steel channels that had
been stored outdoors quickly and well enough to paint. I had to make a
1/4-20 spindle adapter for it to work with the 2" and 3" pads they sell, and
turn a cutting die from 2" pipe to punch out 2" hook/loop disks from larger
ones. Locking the pad to the outer race of the spindle bearing with a washer
makes the disk spin at spindle speed instead of oscillating for fast cutting
instead of a fine finish.

It's also the right tool to clean up rusted or corroded wheel rims that leak
air.

Compared to a wire cup brush on an angle grinder the abrasive pad was about
as fast except on old paint where it clogged and needed cleaning. It was
more controllable on edges where a wire brush tends to jump, and the air
tool fits into tighter spaces.

Those 4" x 8' steel channels became the 16' long overhead gantry hoist
track. I just finished cutting up a 1680 Lb oak log it moved into position
on the sawmill and lifted to rotate.

Old stove cleaning consisted mainly of swabbing the hot metal
with vinegar-soaked rags. It turns brown rust black, and the rags
get black, too...

After the pot cools, rinse off the vinegar and wipe down with
any old oil, then get it up to smoking temperature to season it.

I suspect that by "any old oil" you mean "any cooking oil that has
not yet gone rancid." B-)

Oh, of course edible oils only need apply; not corn oil (gummy at heat),
and not extra virgin olive oil, or bacon grease, but the browned canola from
my deep fryer would be suitable.

I've had success with my cast-iron pans (practically the only things I use to cook anymore, along with my two stamped-carbon-steel saute pans and my C..I. Dutch oven), but I don't claim any expertise. Mine were not really rusty except on the outside of the bottoms. I sprayed them with Easy-Off and bagged them in black trash bags, and then left them in the hot sun for two days. Most of the crud scraped off. Then I scrubbed them and soaked them with 1:3 Clorox solution:

https://tinyurl.com/buc34abk ('hope you don't get hung on the paywall; I'm a subscriber)

I don't know why, but the Clorox does reduce some rust. But those are not C..I. Dutch ovens. I used this on my Le Creuset Dutch oven years ago, and it worked. The ceramic on that pot cracked after 50 years. Things just don't last anymore...

Finally, with a C.I. pan that I bought 55 years ago and never cleaned much, I went at it with a sanding disk on my 4" angle-head grinder. Hmmm...not as fast as you'd think, but it did work. I was covered with black dust afterward, and it really stuck to me. I needed a shower after that.

BTW, I did not pay the obscene price for the Creuset pot, and I would not. My parents sold them in their store.

Good luck!
