No comparison.
One is deeper than the deepest ocean, the language of the soul etc etc... the other is just a bunch of confusing bs written by a couple of guys...

yeah, I shouldn't have said that. It is much harder and deeper than the tax code and regs. Although, I don't believe there is a person in the world who is familiar with the entire code and regs.

7. Q: Can a BBQ be used for both meat and fish?
A: The Gemara (Pesachim 76b) teaches that it is a sakana (danger) to eat fish and meat together. As it is extremely difficult to clean a grill, the same grill rack should not be used for meat and fish. Either the fish should be double wrapped in aluminum foil or separate grill racks should be used.

8. Q: Is it possible to cook on a BBQ that was previously used for non-kosher food such as BBQ’s at parks and campsites? Also, can an outdoor gas or charcoal grill be kashered?
A: Since food is roasted directly on the grill, the grate must be heated until it glows (libun gomur) to be properly kashered. This can be done either with a blowtorch (which should only be used by qualified and experienced individuals) or by sandwiching the grates between charcoal briquettes and setting them on fire. In addition, if the grill has a hood, the empty gas grill cavity must be kashered by cleaning, closing the hood and setting it to the highest setting for one hour (libun kal). Alternatively, one may replace the grates and kasher only the grill cavity as explained above.

Why dont they offer the option of kashering like they do for the treif grill?

Also, the method of kashering to reach libun chomur in 8 is different than what others here have posted as acceptable according to their LOR's

Point 7 only said it is extremely difficult and advised not to bother kashering like in 8. when if it is your grill you may as well buy an extra grate. Just seems like good advice.

Many LOR will often be more lenient than what is posted online.

Upthread they said that simply turning up the heat for a while is sufficient to kasher..

I'm not sure what your question is. You want to know the source for being machmir or meikal in this? I have seen conflicting psaks all the time I assume that isn't news to you.

Which is exactly why the whole thing should be thrown out and streamlined.
