I used PeelAway stripper. It's a paste that you spread on and put a paper-like material over the paste. Wait a while (per the instructions) and peel the old paint off. It worked really well on a door jamb. Didn't have issues with it dripping all over. And if the paint is lead-based, you aren't heating, sanding or chipping the paint off. Once the remover has done it's job, there is a spray on neutralizer.
