Build a fire and get them HOT....Really HOT and keep them HOT for a while. A whole lot of that stuff is going to burn & flake off. Even if you build a fire on the ground and and suspend them over the coals. The hotter the better. After they have baked use a wire brush to take off the loose material then put a good coat of oil on them get them hot again to season. Do it a couple times and any rust left under there will be of no matter.

yea but the grates are still not clean, that is why I used foil. Either I will need to replace them or figure out a better what to clean them. Maybe get a huge fire going in the firebox.

If the grates will fit in the firebox, build you a fire and and set the grates in there for a bit... If you have a kettle grill, you could do it there too. Get 'em good and hot, hit 'em with a stiff steel brush and knock the bad stuff off... Then you'll be ready to re-season.
