Hello,
When removing the flavorizing bars at some point, I scratched the inside of the firebox. The scratch is about an inch long, and has developed rust.
What's the best way to deal with this?
Thank you,
John
Thanks for the replies. This is not a new problem. It was like this from day one.
I love the grill. It would just be good to know whether there is a way to fix this.
So all the way in the back against the back wall it isn't hotter at all? How can that be given that there is a horizontal flame back there?

Could there...
My Spirit 2-burner is hottest in the back and gets progressively cooler towards the front.
It is hottest where the bar connects the two burners, against the back wall. I constantly need to shift things around.
Is this a known issue?
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
The IT did fall below 140.
I put it back in the oven at 225F an hour ago. IT is currently 100F.
I am not sure whether to keep it at 225F or increase to 325F as Charles suggested above.

Bill, what's the concern with falling below 140F?
Tried to make pulled pork in the oven.
I didn't know that my oven had a 12-hour automatic shut-off setting by default.
I had 7lbs pork butt in the oven over night. When I woke up, the oven had been off for nearly 3 hours.
The meat has cooled down by now. I don't know if it ever reached the...
No worries. I actually love cast iron and am accustomed to dealing with rust. I just wanted to make sure I didn't need to do anything special in this case.
Thanks for the info. Here are some photos.
What should I oil it with?
At this point, I just let the grill run on high for about 15-20 minutes to burn off some of the treatment.
I purchased a Spirit E-210 on Craiglist.
It was a year old but had never been used. It still had the stickers on. It was kept outside, with a cover on.
Everything looks good. There are a few rusty spots where the grates meet the body and on the bottom of the grates, in the same spots.
I...
