I finally checked out the bottom of my PBC.  It has been used a fair amount.  Mine is mounted on a dolly that has a hole cut in the dolly underneath the bottom for good air circulation.  The bottom of mine looks like the day it arrived.  No rust or hint of rust.  Guess I am lucky on this one.

I'm just reading this thread ... Besides the suggestions already provided - please consider these :

1. Use a sheet of HD foil under the charcoal basket
2. Peanut oil has a high temp smoke point , you may try to season internal seams / bottom safely with peanut oil
3. For external metal I recommend : "Corrosion X" spray which is perhaps the #1 rated product to stop rust from forming

I have used this for water contact items...incredible. BUT...I am not sure of its food safety when used on a cooker. ( I also have never subjected it to heat....) I would strongly urge anyone using this product to be careful to keep it only on the outside of the pit until you have clarified with the manufacturer that it is safe to use or this application.
I just want us all to help keep one another safe! ;)

Well, DANG!  Cover (plastic garbage bag) was frozen to the PBC lid when I went to do some wings for hors d'oeuvres tonight.  I put the lid on it while it was coming up to temperature and lifted until the ice melted and the lid dropped into place.  Now I smell like smoke.

Then---There were RUST spots on the lid.  DANG!  Wire brush and high temperature paint in the forecast.  Although I doubt that it's of any importance.  But it bugs me and I can't ignore it.

Oh well, I've been thinking of making a few modifications.  Stand by for details Tommy.

Pmillen - We recommend a cover like the one we sell on our website, a plastic bag mixed with cold weather will not be a good combo. Amber - PBC CO.
