I would make a charcoal/firewood rack that keeps the really hot stuff 2"-4" fron the steel then just use a good high temp paint like Rustoleum.

PS: I like to use quarts & a HVLP gun for good even coverage, not rattle cans.
 
Nice build but curious how you plan to keep fire and meat on that thang :becky:
 
Is Grate Adjustable? How Deep is the Lid? Paint it Camo :heh:
 
Nice looking build. Where do you buy your anti-gravity chicken? Lol
 
Looks really nice Cooking upside down will make it easy to clean :becky:

I was thinking 2" steel angle welded on floor for the charcoal rack..Does the high heat rustoleum paints sells at Home Depot works for bbq grills? Painting over hot rolled mill scale wont be problem peeling off in a long run?
 
That is so awesome! I wish I could do something like that and only spend $200.
 
Nice chicken cooker! Some Rustoleum High Heat paint on the outside only and you'll be all set. Comes in six colors and is supposedly good to 2000 degrees.

This is what I've been using, no primer but clean the steel with TSP or alcohol.

It still might loose it's satin finish if it gets to hot but I have not had it peel.

I've been thinking of giving some of this a try on my next build.
