 I gotta go along with Russ.  Back when I was in Germany in the Army, I was 
trying to clean some carburetors.  Back then, you couldn't get simple stuff 
like gunk and carburetor cleaner in Germany.  I got them as clean as I could in 
diesel fuel, hosed them off with water, then decided to try Easy Off Oven 
Cleaner.  It was the kind that said get the oven hot.  So, I sprayed the 
carburetor housings, and put them on a cookie sheet in the oven at 425 degrees 
for 30 minutes (like chocolate chip cookies!). The smell started all at once, 
and no amount of fans, open windows, or anything else would clear the stench 
from the kitchen.  Six months later, breakfast buscuits still tasted like Weber 
carburetors cleaned with Easy Off!

I can testify from experience that this approach is not fail-safe for some 
kinds of
automotive work. Using the home oven for the curing of thermoset plastics, for 
example,
elicits a lot of nose-twitiching-- progressing to delicate snorts-- then to 
high-pitched
verbal abuse-- when the oven owner returns home.
