What tool to strip paint??

I am trying to get all the old paint off some tube doors my bro made awhile ago and right now im using a 6" wire wheel attatched to an electric drill. Do yall have any suggestions as to anything (cheap) that may be easier to use to get the paint off. I have been out in the gargage for like 2 hours and have only gotten one side of one door. Any suggestions will help. Thanks.

Try a heat gun. Burn the sh##T off it works.
