It depends how pedantic you wanna be about it but here's a good process for this sorta thing:
• Wire brush
• Spray with oil (pam, etc) and sprinkle with salt
• Polish the salt/oil mixture with crumpled up foil
• Wash with water/rag
• Getcher fire started
The same thing works great for crusted 'n rusted cast iron skillets and other cookware
