Rusting Grates


 
I don’t think you can really prevent it, unless you store them inside. You can prolong it from getting bad, by keeping the grill clean and dry when not in use. I try to keep my grates oiled with vegetable oil as well, seems to help. I oil before I put my food on, and whenever I clean the grates.
 
are you sure its rust.....? i thought mine was rusting too but some steel wool and elbow grease made a huge difference..
 
How can I prevent the grates from rusting?

Use it more:p JK, don't go overboard cleaning up after a smoke, just scrape or brush off any leftover food scraps but leave a layer of bbq grease on till next time.
And keep it out of the rain and leave a lower vent cracked to let it breathe.
Covers are nice, but they also trap moisture which can lead to rusty grates.

I myself have been having pretty good luck keeping them clean,and inside. BUT all the work involved I am not sure it's worth it
