Metal looks really pitted. You could go after it with a flap disc or a wire wheel on an angle grinder if you want to see how bad the metal really is.

Dang. Well I thought you were posting from a garage sale.

I'd use it. Wouldn't bother sanding or painting it though. It isn't long for this world. Might have 2 years left. If you heat it up real hot a lot of that rust will flake off.

I love this grill. However, porch is getting redone and real fancy looking and wife thinks this is too ugly to put on it. So I either have to make it pretty or spend at least $1000 on something that would be satisfactory for my demands.

If I can grind off most of the rust with some sort of attachment to my drill, and repaint the whole thing with the high-heat grill paint, that's ideal.

The only super-bad rust is what you can see on the door to the firebox.

The interior is in surprisingly good shape- shows I kept it well coated in pig grease on a regular basis. Unfortunately I didn't take as good care of the outside, and the deterioration happened so gradually that I didn't really notice it until it got this bad.

Any advice is appreciated.

By the way, I posted this here instead of OT Lounge for a reason.
