Not only that, but I always covered the grill. The major part that rusted out doesn't even get wet unless you a. don't use a grill cover and b. leave the lid open.

The pan is rusting out, especially near the ignitor. You can see one of my crackpot repairs near the middle ignitor where I created a support using metal and a bolt I had laying around.




This thing has an Affinity to rust.
