[TheForge] Cast Iron

[Rick]

Hi Guys -

    I am not someone who knows much about cast iron.  I have an old power 
hack saw that I am cleaning and trying to resurrect.  It is under layersw of 
grease and even more layers of paint.  What I need to know is, will it hurt 
cast iron to go into the forge fire for a while to burn off some of this 
crap?  I would save LOTS of time and trouble if I could burn it off without 
damaging the parts.  Has anyone done this successfully, or does someone know 
that it shouldn't be done?

Wondering,
