I was given a nice dutch oven (4.5 qt but made in taiwan so I doubt its worth much) that was pulled from the ashes of a house fire. It has some mysterious stains on it. Lots of white stains on the inside, lots of green on the outside, with the white splattered onto the green etc. Overall a little bit messy. I've had it in an electrolysis tank for about 10 or so hours and they haven't come off (not surprised, just disappointed).
I was wondering if you guys would go through other methods like a lye bath and high heat or just dump it/find some other use for it for risk of toxic chemicals from the fire.
EDIT:
I should add: the green is only on the outside. It's kind of the color of one of those military tent. The white is on the inside and seems to have splattered onto the outside. I can add pics if it would help.
