Speaking of rust... That's a Nexgrill, or equivalent (yours), available from Home Depot for $99. They'll rust up in a heartbeat and look like hell. The marina tossed mine in the dumpster last year, only three months old. I got it back and painted it. Case and valves were OK, but the guts finally burned up. Good reef starter material though.
It was a compliment, but I stand corrected. Phosphoric to remove the rust. On this new one, I painted on ferric chloride to etch the steel; primed with hi-temp Krylon and done. Just needs one good bake. Primer is the official color of rednecks and the Bolivian Navy.I feel ya on the grill. My stupid brother rinsed it off with saltwater washdown on one of our trips. So this one will probably be lucky to make it through one season. What did you prime/paint it with? Was considering spraying some ospho on it. Maybe some high-temp paint would stay put? Ordered mine online for $75 shipped. I figure at that price I can replace every single year and still be way ahead of the game. The marine grills just aren't big enough for us. We like to EAT GOOD out there and often have 8-10 guys. So we need to be able to burn through 10 steaks fairly quickly. I also like the two burners on it, so I can have one side hot and the other side off to slow-cook big pieces of meat.
And the boat is a 52c. Hopefully on it's way to being one of the nicest 52's out there!
Go ahead. It’s raining here.
