    High Temp paint in Fire Box ??

    I have a rusty bottom to my firebox. I’ve steel brushed, and wheel ground out 95% of it. But there is still some surface rust. Use High Temp paint ? (2,000 degrees). Or just Stop and cover it in peanut oil?

    External and internal rust...

    Thanks Piney, I think I’ve been able to get as much rust off as I can without hardcore grinding... and I guess some rust is inevitable as I live near the coast, and we get morning moisture almost daily. I have some refined coconut oil that has a very high smoke point. And then run some wood...

    Thanks for the advice... my son scraped off the old seal that was disintegrating. Question: I've also heard that a heat diffuser (aka heating plate?) that has holes that get bigger as it moves away from the firebox ? Helps spread out the heat more evenly... are those sold by anyone online?

    Which rack to use on vertical smoker ?

    Happy Mother’s Day !! Q: I have a vertical smoker that I recently bought. I’m going to be cooking two racks of ribs today. Is there a difference between which level of the vertical smoker the meat is put on? Should it be on the higher racks, or the lower racks, or is there any difference?

    I guess that’s my Q: how can you tell if they are dead? No more smoke coming out ?

    When are wood chunks no longer useful?

    New smoker here... I’ve used my smoker 3x now, and I have some left over wood chunks in the smoke tray. When do I toss them out ? Should they go down to complete dust/ash?
