Hey everyone. I recently built a UDS smoker and for the paint I used a 2000 degree Rustoleum. Anyway even after now my 6th cook (and 4 weeks, also note I waited 4 days before doing my first cook after painting), the paint STILL gets tacky on every use, and also even if I wait till after it has cooled completely down to put my cover back on, when the sun comes out it heats the paint up enough to get it tacky so that I have to "tear" the cover off every time I use the smoker, thus peeling some paint off onto the cover, and even some of the rubber in the cover onto the paint... Super annoying!
The entire thing from the lid to the bottom gets tacky, so anything that touches the smoker while in use will leave a mark/imprint, or when I close the lid back on my cloves leave their pattern in the lip, and some "wet" paint on the gloves.
Anyone else have this problem with paint on their UDS? Any recommendations, or does this just happen with UDS?
-Also note that I got a high quality cover that is a canvas outside, but has a sort of rubbery lining inside.
