Ive covered mine with a cover I bought for like 20 dollars on amazon. Obviously wait till its completely cool before covering it. The Covers helped so far !

We live in Florida which is pretty much the arm pit of the world as far as moisture is concerned and we've not had any rust issues. The only thing we do is turn it upside down so water doesn't collect in it.

Put it in a covered area after use. Like in your garage. If you leave it out, it will rust. Mine has rust but it adds to the look. I will get two seasons out of it, which translates to about $35.00 per year.

My in-laws have had this fire pit for a few years and we are pretty bad about taking care of it, and it has help up pretty well. After a fire it might be a couple days before we dump out the ash and lean it against the house. Sometimes it just sits out there in the florida heat and rain for weeks... and it only has a slight rust hole in the bottom. Actually, the rust hole helps with the airflow...only downside is ash on the deck a little.

As a happy customer of this product, I don't see how it would possibly rust unless when you were installing it, you used a tool and scratched the surface allowing it to rust.

If you are not using the grinder, you can put those little bags of silica that you get packaged with most electronics into the container. This will absorb the moisture that is causing the rust. For the existing rust you can use a wire brush to remove any surface rust, or you can use Evaporust on a cloth to wipe on to the rusty areas. Leave the Evaporust on the rust for a few hours, then wipe off. Clean the newly rust-free areas, then coat with a very light oil, like Camelia (Tea Seed) or a very light food friendly oil. If you ever decide that you want to use the grinder, just wipe off any excess oil first.

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

I've had mine for about two years. I've had no rust problems. In reading reviews it was suggested to NOT use a lemon-based detergent due to thoughts it might cause rusting, so I don't.

I used crisco to season mine when I first got it. Every now and then I spray it with olive oil. Going to season it again with crisco here in a few days. Haven't seen any sign of rust. How long have you had it?

I have had no issues with rust, I wash mine bin the dishwasher, have left it in the sink over night in water, accidentally, and it still looks great. I use it several times a month and have no complaints at all.

Silicone spray or rag treatment will prevent light rusting. Otherwise no damage when left outside over extended duration, in above freezing conditions.

I soak mine frequently and have even run it through the dishwasher a few times. It has never rusted, but it has discolored slightly.

I use white grease that you can find at the local hardware store. Keep it coated at all times so it won't rust and cease up.

Hand washing is definitely the way to go. It will pit the metal and rust in spots if you go the dishwasher route.
