Had new air intakes cut .. he painted the inside door of the forebox...help

Don't know why he did it...but he did. Is this safe? It's 1200 degree BBQ paint. I don't smell anything weird (I'm just burning a fire not cooking). Should I worry about it?

I would say you have nothing to worry about.
SMOKE ON!

I'd build the hottest fire you can to burn off as much paint as you can.
While it's red hot mist the inside with a hose and let cool. Than wire brush off as much as you can and burn it out with a hot fire a second time before cooking anything.
You'll be fine after a few good hot burns.

On another note, would HY-C fireplace grates be safe to use as my firegrate in my smoker? Meaning are they coated or painted with anything that wouldn't be safe?

Any suggestion on how to remove the paint from the small areas in the bottom intake in this picture?

Use heavy duty oven cleaner. It will strip paint. It’s messy so make sure you prep the area properly. Let the oven cleaner soak a few hours. Keep it ‘wet’ with the oven cleaner. Clean with warm soapy water, rinse, and then start a hot fire for final step.

He also used acetone to prep the metal on the inside of the door before painting it, this gonna be an issue?
