Hello, I have a couple spots where paint is starting to bubble and flake off (after a poor attempt at an experiment) and I was going to see if anyone has any recommendations as to the right type of paint? I'm going to scrape and sand and hope to apply the paint today. I am seeing the Krylon High Heat Max Satin Spray rated for 1200. Do you think this will work or should I look for something else?

It sounds like you're trying to get paint to stick to the inside of a cooker. I don't think you can get that surface clean enough to make the paint stick. As Jerod Broussard stated above, I wouldn't do it.
No I wouldn't paint the inside. Toxic. But... Scrap off any build up. It's probably smoke and creosote build up. After that just spray with Pam before and after a cook or two to build up your seasoning inside the pit.
To keep the outside, if this is a black offset, wipe it with a little mineral oil.
If this indeed a PBC, I am certain they recommend not cleaning the inside which would include painting. If this is something that bothers you, I would sell it and move to another cooker, but painting the inside is a toxic recipe IMO.
I didn't clean it, no. haha. I have never cleaned the actual cooker. Just the basket and ash catcher. I tried an experiment to simulate an open fire cook and fully opened the intake flap as well as left the lid off. I put 3 splits of hickory on the already burning briquettes and went inside to prep the vegetables. I had already slow cooked the meat and took it off the smoker to rest before returning it for a wood fired sear. Once I went back outside to check the smoker, the flames were shooting out of the top of the smoker. So it could have been the buildup of "seasoning" that has crisped and flaked off. If that is the case, Then I'll just reseason with a little oil and burn some briquettes for a couple hours.
The PBC can and will go into aferburner if you leave the lid off for any prolonged amount of time. Especially after the meat was cooked. As me to show you my first PBC turkey
The charcoal was running for maybe 45 mins total before I put the hickory splits on the coals. I will usually add a couple 2" - 3" hickory chunks in the charcoal basket while doing the longer cooks. I was wanting to use the hickory as actual heat source in the searing of the steaks and it turned out to be a massive fail haha
Toolfan08 it is a bummer that it messed the barrel up a bit. Read something a month or so ago where someone did a similar experiment. They filled the charcoal chimney with wood chunks to get it going and threw it on top of a few splits. After digging into the details they admitted it was just fun to try but more work than necessary for the end result.
