How long does it last before it gets rusty and unusable?

I've used mine every week, about two to three times per week, since I got it, in May, and I clean it and it's not rusty or unusable yet. I like mine so much I am going to get a couple more, and and give them to my two sons that grill a lot. I suppose that after use and prior to storage, a light coat of cooking oil would be appropriate.

I have four of them in my grill--loaded with various size twigs from my six mulberry trees, along with some apple, maple, and lilac wood that I cut down. After the wood converts into charcoal, I turn down the gas and let the charcoal do most of the heating. Afterward, I dump the charcoal into a bucket of water and reuse much of what hasn't turned to ashes. Dump the water containing the potash into the garden. Real simple methodology. Saves gas.As to rusting... Paint them with high-temperature manifold paint coating, available at any auto-parts store.

It rusts? Lol. I spray it with nonstick oil before and after each use, so far no rust, but I've only had it a few months.I prefer to cook all meats in a real smoker and use a wired internal meat temp probe for desired doneness.

I have 2 years on mine and it's not rusted and has never failed. This is a solid product.

I,ve had mine in use for 17months and have not encountered any rust problems. I am very happy withthe sink as it is durable and easy to clean. I had a composite sink in my former house and could not keepit clean.

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.

Unless you keep it covered when not using it, there are parts that will eventually rust.

I have no problem with the product rusting. Holds up well if cleaned and cared for after each use. I have had one for more then 5 years and bought a 2nd one as a gift about a year ago.

I have not had any rusting at all. I am not a heavy user maybe twice a month and always clean up and dry immediately after using.

I have had mine for 2 years & leave it out through Chicago winters. No rust yet.

Not advisable...if you look carefully at the area where the rod slide out of the outer rod, it can get rusty. All 3 of the 1 that I own have some rust there which means it can go rusty.

Depends on the conditions to your particular environment. Mine can make it to about 6 months, but I change every 3-6, depending how dirty it looks when I check it periodically.

I have had no problem with rusting, just be sure to care for it properly after each use.

Look elsewhere. Its not worth the trouble. Trust me. It was rusting after 6 months. I'll try to post a picture.

It didn't rust, but it didn't last very long either. I had to throw it away and I wouldn't buy this again.

I've had mine for about 3 months and it's still good! I always keep mine in the shower too, it hasn't rusted or anything like that.

I have had mine a long time, no rust. But, in addition to wiping mine dry I let it air dry some more. Then, I reassemble it and put it away.... Great item!!

We have had ours for about 2 years & no rust. We use it camping so it isn't out all the time but it has seen its fair share of wet weather & it stored in the front compartment of our camper.
