Fire it with oil then scrape and repeat that's all you need to do.
I have lots of cast I use outside for grilling.

Out in Co, we had an old cast iron sewer grate that somehow migrated there from Miami. It was app 2'x4' and took 2 people to move it. It stayed outside 24/7 and was never treated or seasoned. Heated up until red hot, hit with a wire brush and it was good to go. The only oil it got was when some was spilled, or from various meats. Once hot it stayed hot a real long time and you could grill meat or use it for pots/ pans/coffee, just fine.

I saw the same pot on an episode of bonanza. the one with Hoss, an old miner & Walter the genious dog that never moves. It was hanging over the fireplace cooking beans, did they eat anything else back then?

well I discovered a rust remover for cast iron. apple cider vinegar. pour into pot, fry pan whatever let soak for a while rub it out. discovered this cleaning up old hand saws. kills growing mold in the bird bath also.
