Is the black part going to rust in time

Well, it is possible because it is metal. But it is coated pretty well, so it "should last". I would recommend you purchase the cover (sold separately) and keep it covered when not using. It's a real beautiful piece, and well constructed. Take care of it, and it will last a long time. Hope this helps you.

I have had mine less than a year, so not sure. I keep a cover over mine when not in use as well.

It has a few rust spots...I plan on trying to remove that rust and touch up with paint this spring...love the outdoor fireplace, though!

We had ours almost a year and nothing yet (rust),..I believe the black paint is of a high temp grade. It looks really nice. We use Landmann's cover for this model (ordered it separately) and cover it during the 6 months of winter. We love ours!~

I've had mine for quite some time (in silver) and it hasn't rusted yet. It's still in pretty good condition too. Seems to hold up well against everyday wear and tear.

Not rusted, since that is a function of iron-based products, but will develop a patina. I am choosing not to clean and polish my bowl, but allow it to darken and basically turn a dark brown to black with the exposure to air, heat, ashes, and tar in the wood i am burning. I want to fool the cooper thieves out there, too.

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

Yes, I believe it would rust over time. But, if you painted the roof and other outside of cage areas with a rustoleum type paint, that might give it a longer life.

All of the parts are heavy grade plastic. You shouldn't have any rust problems.

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

no, it will lightly rust if you don't dry it good.I clean mine up with "Bar Keepers Friend" and looks like new.

So far, no. I dont see rust being an issue down the line but ive only had it a month or so.

I have only had it for a short time, but so far no. It's stainless steel so it shouldn't rust.

No, ive had mine on for over 6 months now it hasn't faded or rusted. Where i live there isn't much rain though but it has rained a few times and no rust. But they do get dirty a lot with the exhaust coming out of them, they turn black every once in a while but you can just wipe it off with a wet rag or anything else.

The weights have a black finish, but I'm not sure if it would prevent rusting. That's a good question.

When the coating on the frame of the rack get cracked or chipped, the water gets to the metal and yes it can rust. With care placing it in your sink, and not hitting something hard on the edge of the rack, it should last you many years before it rusts.

I think any of them will eventually rust, at least the ones I have used. These ones I just installed about a month ago and so far so good. I think the stuff that is on them that makes your hand turn a little black is also a protectant because it felt kind of oily. They do seem a little stronger than the ones that I previousle bought at lowes

I believe so. Rust only occurs on iron material. The brown color fades slightly. We have had our set for two and a half years and it still looks nice, but it has been undercover on a porch.

I've had one that looks identical for at least 10 years. The rack itself is in great condition.....no rust at all. I love the way it looks! Very classy.
