Protecting equipment

[jime55]

I hope I am in the correct section to post my question:
I have recently moved to a location which is very close to the ocean. It's beautiful but the salt air corrodes EVERYTHING. My smoker and most other equipment is metal, not stainless steel. I have strategies for ceiling fans, chairs, etc. The problem is that none of those strategies are for cooking utinsels or cooking surfaces. Neither are they recommended for heat intensive environments like grills or smokers. Does anyone else have this corrosion issue? What do you do to protect your equipment?

I'd think simply spraying metal surfaces after use with PAM or similar would help protect the bare metal.
