I didn't notice but mine is rusting also, I have stored it inside and it has never seen any rain. Maybe being coated with a baked-on porcelain enamel like weber would be a better option then powder coating.


It would...But it would drive the price of the PBS to well over $1000 in my estimation. ;D

A bit of elbow grease - a wire brush - and a little Rustoleum High Temp grill paint and - it will be new again.

Peanut oil works very well for that purpose. Very little smoke comes from it when heated to high temps.

I love peanut oil for seasoning cast iron. Should work well here, then apply the high heat paint.

Yeah, I've been seeing the exact same thing. Was going to wait until the fall (so I guess I should get busy now), wire brush and rustoleum.

I was keeping mine covered, but there was always water sitting in the lid, whether I covered or not, but I don't bother now.

So, you guys are talking about seasoning the outside of the PBC, like we would season the inside of other cookers?

I gave mine a good wire brushing before painting. Before my next couple of cooks in the PBC I am going to rub the outside bottom down with peanut oil. I figure why waist good charcoal just to season it when it can be done while your cooking.

The only thing about putting oil on the outside of your pit is the potential of it remaining a little sticky. Even a fortheating Iit thoroughly some oils will never dry out completely...which is how they provide a barrier against moisture. But if you live in an area where bugs...dirt...pollen can"decorate"  your pit.....you may want to opt for the Rustoleum .

Im only doing the outside bottom. With the extreme heat produced from the charcoal there will be nothing stuck to it and something manages to stick to it after that the next cook will get rid of it

Yep...the bottom will be a good place to try out oiling the exterior. Let us know how it works out.

Been watching this thread,   kinda knowing where it's going.  CharBroil's  Red grill is known for rusty admitters and this reminded me of those threads.

One question though, couldn't sand on the bottom stop a lot of the rust issue n the lower panel?  I mean it would take the heat away from the panel and that should help from rust forming right? 

Just asking and wishing I had a PBC  :( :(

When I got my PBC I seasoned the inside very well. If you look inside of mine all your going to see is a lot of build up from the smoke. On the bottom I use heavy duty tin foil and remove any left over ash as it is known to help wear out the bottom. Before putting it away I do the bongo thing upside down to get rid of any left over ash. Putting sand in on the bottom might help but its something you would have to do every cook if you follow my clean up. I think by maybe doing a good wire brushing a couple of times a year will reduce the rust problem.

I use triple layers of HD foil under the basket for easy cleaning.
I was thinking pizza stone would act as the sand idea, only a little less messy.

But nothing ever lasts forever. That's why we should all buy a second PBC and keep it in the garage just in case......LOL!

Tommy...a couple of thoughts I had about this.
 "Sand" is not all created equal. Some is fairly pure silica, which is used in glass making, and would be a good insulator. And - how well is the sand dried first? If you buy play-sand at HD or Lowe's - it can be pretty wet....

The effect that causes the rust is a function of the heating and cooling - and the effect of moisture... So, if you have any available moisture in the air as humidity - and you have a very hot surface - as the steel cools - the moisture in the air can condense on the surface of the metal - which may have been microscopically exposed via the heating/cooling.

So - if I am thinking correctly here - ( and that is not a guarantee... ;D ) adding sand may actually accelerate surface corrosion.

How about a stainless steel one, sure would be nice  ;)
This was made special for Cowgirl by Big Poppa Smokers so don't go looking for one as I believe its one of a kind. Maybe the good folks at PBC can make one and raffle it off. I would buy a few tickets  8)
