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.
Is Grate Adjustable? How Deep is the Lid? Paint it Camo :heh:
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?
