Boiling water works very well to melt the grease off. If you have one of the turkey friers and a galvanized wash tub. Pour the boiling water over the metal and wood pieces you need to remove the cosmoline from, but be careful not to burn yourself. Much safer if you don't burn yourself than working with diesel or kerosene in the long run health wise. Putting the wood stock in a black garbage bag and setting it in the sun will help sweat a lot of the cosmo out of the stock as well. The wood will actually be harder and take longer to get cosmoline free than the metal pieces.
