So I'm restoring an old off set that was left when we bought our new house. I have never restored a smoker before, but thought I would give it a go. I used the high heat paint (2000+ degree F paint) painted all of it. And now it's time for the the racks....?. Some of the racks have some rust. I wire brushed them, with a cup bush attached to my Dewalt drill. Got all the rust off . But I'm not sure I should paint the grates. I'm concerned it will affect flavor of meat. I think it might be hard to replace the grates on this and don't really want to spend the money. I plan on seasoning the smoker and going around with lots of oil and then seasoning again... any recommendations... thanks in advance.
