The thread on recommended grills made me think of an actual
question. :-)

I live just above Puget Sound. My Weber Silver A has rust spots on the
handles, on the porcelain-coated CI grates, on the Flavorizer bars,
and anything else you can name (not on the porcelain exterior). I
don't have a covered area to place it, and nowhere to store it in an
enclosed space (no garage or carport, for instance).

I just tried smearing peanut oil on the worst spots on the grates, but
haven't tried anything on the bars as yet.

Do you folks have any suggestions for how I can deal with the rust and
protect the grill? It's usually covered now, but the winds here blow
the cover off frequently. Weber's only suggestion was to replaced all
the rusted parts, which could be quite an expenditure.

Thank you for any help,

Desideria

I hope folks will excuse me for using a four-letter word on a family
newsgroup, but I would smear it all with L-A-R-D.

*snicker* I'll forgive you, Ivan.

Why do you suggest lard in particular? I am actually curious here.

It should adhere to your metal surfaces better and longer than peanut oil,
being more viscous. Plus it's edible. You wouldn't want to use Vaseline or
gear oil, would you? };->

Ummmm...no. Thanks for explaining!

How long have you had the grill for? I was thinking about getting a Weber, but I'm a little skeptical now. Do you think it's just because of your harsh location? All the 2008 Weber Grills Reviews I've read said they are the best.
