So I think I got really lucky and picked up this Tejas smoker for $500.
It needs a bit of TLC, but structurally it's good to go. My questions are as follow:
1. Once I wire brush and sand the rust off the stainless steel tray in the front, how should I keep it from re-oxidizing ?
2. Best practices for clearing out and saling the firebox interior?
3. the cooking grates appear to be in decent shape, if I wanted to clean them up, what would you recommend, or should I just replace them instead eventually?
Thanks again in advance for any insight, its gonna be a big undertaking for sure!
