Rusty WSM Interior

[jergles]

Hi everyone,

I recently got a well-loved WSM courtesy of my old man who took lots of time restoring it for me. Once he cleaned it we noticed spots of brown rust (potentially) on the inside of the middle section and on the inside of the lid. It doesn't look to have eaten through the enamel or anything. Is there a recommended high-temp paint I could use to cover these up to prevent its spread? Bonus points if I could also use it on my kettle's lid, as some movers dropped it and chipped about a half inch area of enamel off.

Thanks!!

Rust-Oleum has a 2000 degree paint that I’ve used on my Hasty Bake. I haven’t used it on my WSM, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

Thanks! Is it OK to use on the inside of the cooker too? Not sure if stuff like that interacts with the food at all.

jergles this is what I found to use on a smoker. I had to refinish parts of my Hasty Bake exterior. I would think it’s okay to use on the inside also, but I’ve not done it.
