Do you ever use any oil to coat your racks before you cook ?
I find it helps stop the meat from sticking, and seems to protect the guts of the BBQ
My BBQ has sat on my back deck since day one, and most of the year it's under a vinyl cover, so you would expect it to rot even faster.
It's only left uncovered from about May to Sept.
It's exposed to the weather from Sept to May with the cover on, so you would think it would have gone rotten by now.
I have gotten my money's worth out of it.
Like I said in my other post, I use Olive Oil on my racks when I cook. Maybe this has a bearing on keeping the rust away.
This may not help everyone as I don't use wire racks.
I use channeled cast racks. These are best for meat, but I use them for absolutely everything and would never consider wire racks ever again
Plus I use ceramic bricks between the burners and the racks. No idea if they help or not, but they last longer than the little cubes that came with the unit.
