I have an aftermarket cast iron grate on my Performer. Since the grill sits out all winter (under a cover), I've taken to winterizing the cast iron grate with a heavy application of cooking spray. Seems to work alright. Anyone else have a tip on how to prevent rust?
 
Monty;
There are many ways to preserve cast iron outside. Unfortunately, most of them are not a food safe method. Yours, sounds pretty dern effective and is food safe. The only better way that I could think of, would do the same thing to the grates, but wrap them in brown paper (it breathes), and keep it in a garage or utility shed.

Since I have been known to shovel snow off my patio to get to my grill in winter, I would just continue to do as you do. It wouldn't hurt to take a look at it on a ice day in winter from time to time.

Keep on smokin',

Cook some bacon in it and don't clean up. Or simply hang it on a nail in shed or in garage if not using
