The key ingredient in both Drano and Easy-Off is sodium hydroxide, i.e. lye. It will strip annodizing off, but sometimes it takes more than one try. As suggested, get the Easy-Off in the yellow can, not the "Fume-free" type in the blue can.

I stripped everything when I restored my grille. A 20 min. bath was all it took. Rinse the smut off with cold water. http://70duster440.com/grilleresto.html
