You should be able to paint the stove but not the grill or grate but I just oiled mine

I would not paint even the outside of the hibachi. That paint will heat up and stink up whatever it is you're cooking. Coat it with high temp oil every time you use it and after you are done using it and it will never rust.

I have no experience with that paint and can't say yes or no. My general feeling is paints have some volatile matter which might give out fumes and would might affect the food & health. Just take metal brush run with it around and apply oil. It should be ok. I got a cover as well for this grill, but didn't do much benefit. I could see rust all over the place. So I turned back to old method (brush and oil). Planning to keep it in the basement or in garage when not in use.

There is a glossy black, high temperature spray paint for retouching the inside and outside of Weber style kettle grills. I haven't tried it, though.

I have never considered this idea before, so anything I say is merely an opinion. It would seem relatively okay to me to paint the OUTSIDE of the unit this way, but I would not paint anywhere INSIDE the unit as you simply don't know what chemicals could be released during cooking that might be dangerous to your health. I just rub mine with olive oil on the outside, and so far there is no rust, even though it sits outside. Also, I have a plastic cover over the unit when not in use so that rain does not hit it directly.

No, yes you will have to burn off the cheap paint first before you ever use this on a camping trip. Then paint it with the high temperature paint for barbecue grills. You can get from Lowes or Home Depot. But back to the tent itself, the material itself is only fire resistant and could start to melt or catch fire especially if it has been sprayed with a water proofing spray. And I would guess this tent doesn't have a stove jack in the roof either.

Hi Bacchus, I hauled into my house the actual jug of the Skyco product. I think you could use it on a rusted BBQ grill, but would probably have to then use say Wood burning stove spray paint on it after you used the Skyco Ospho. All the Skyco stuff does is make the rust morph into like a coating. It's mostly black, but does have some gray powder. It is making the rust inert. Then you paint with the heat resistent paint. I have used stove paint and it really can stand the heat. Hope this helps. Sue

the instructions mentioned to rub it down with oil, I used cooking oil and got some black oxide (iron rust) while wiping it. I don't remember seeing any paint- it was bare metal. It has not scaled or corroded with this oil treatment, which is performing better than the OEM supplied by the original grill manuacturer.

No! It is very heavy and not all of it is enamel . Would rust . I could not live without this for simmering on my gas stove . The gas flame heats this up and it radiates nice even heat. Have one for our RV too and bought one for our son

Absolutely! We have had ours for something like a year now and have cooked on it numerous times. We've not had any problems with paint chips, or rust or anything like that. It really us a great investment.

Id say no more than all the others. The heat makes them all rust . I have a hard time not burning the food on mine. I have to cool with the grill lid open.

I have had no problems or issues with this pot at all. I use it for making beer as well as cooking. There is no rust on the one I purchased.

You could paint it , but use a high temperature paint to prevent it from coming off , as the grill gets very hot .

Cast iron is the "original" nonstick cooking surface. All iron will rust. However, a properly seasoned & maintained piece of cast iron will provide a rustproof, nonstick cooking surface for decades.

Hi IZZY, I used this stove black on an indoor cast iron wood stove, and an outdoor chimenea. In both cases, the stoves looked great, and the paste is simple to apply....reminded me of shoe polish. It's much easier (and no fumes) than the high heat paints I used previously. The chimenea lasted a few months before the rust spots started to show through, but I was impressed it lasted that long. Be aware that this has a very dull matte black finish, no shine at all. As far as scratch coverage, I guess it covered them, but my cast iron pieces had a rough finish so I didn't really notice. I am happy with the results, and the price was right. Hope this helped, daun

LOL!!! I debated the same thing! Ended up going with the stainless as I thought it matched the kitchen better. No rust issues, heats up very quickly. Not too big, not too small! Just be careful the first time or two when you pick it up by the handle as certain areas on the handle can get hot. Once you get used to that, it's no issue!

I did not do the outside and it has been fine. But even if it rusted a little I would not worry about it it is on the outside. But I have had no problems with that. If I did I would rub a little oil on it while it was hot. I cook on a electric stove so I wouldn't do the bottom where the heat source hits but I would add a little oil on the upper outside.

Use a black paint called VHT flame proof coatings. Sand rust spots smooth then paint with VHT

It's like any grill grate. I store my grill outside and the moisture collects under the hood which causes the grate to rust sooner then it should. I just hit it with a wire brush and cook on it. The fit was perfect for my grill.

I am using the polish on an indoor cast iron stove, but if it gets moisture, it still rusts. I think it is more intended to improve the appearance of the stove. Maybe a high temperature paint would be more suitable for outdoors.

Have you checked the weather in the Northeast!!?? Seriously, I have not, but this cookware is very heavy duty and it should not be any problem at all in charcoal. Reminds me to the stuff we used in Boy Scouts some 45 years ago!
