The Texas BBQ Forum

I am really enjoying my Pellet Pooper and have no complaints. However, when I don't use it for a while the big drip tray/pan that I always cover with foil really rusts up bad with a fine rust. I always cover it with foil before a cook but I have to wash that rust off every time before putting foil over it. This may just be something that I have to do each time BUT I thought that maybe someone had found a way to keep this rust from accumulating every time. Rubbing it down with cooking oil would only attract some of the billions of crazy ants that we have in this subdivision.

Any suggestions, Y'all

Maybe put a box of damp rid in it? The joys of the third coast.....rust!

I'm certainly aware of the Third Coast but as much as BBQ'ers tweek and come up with things to help their hobby, I was hoping that a Third Coast Resident might have a "trick up their sleeve"??

I have never worried about it but then it seems that some grease has always leaked through the foil often have to scrape some crusties.....

thanks Papa T - - - I guess that's a small price to pay for good "Q" eh
