Just a small note about painting the firebox.

I tried every High Temp paint I could Find...and always wound up repainting at some point.

One night over a few beers at a competition I was complaining about it and the guy next to me suggested I treat it the same as I treat my cast iron.

So I scrubbed off the surface rust, fired it up and slathered it in oil.

I just put a lil oil on it every time I cook and it is as black as can be...most can't even tell it's not painted.

Just my .02

Good Luck

I'll second that. Season it up.......cook your bacon and eggs on the firebox afterwords since you out there anyhow.

Congrats on your negotiation skills there chefrob. Can't wait for some views of your fantastic chilaquiles with the pulled pork off that.

Yep makes for the perfect skillet / griddle at cook offs
