Cast aluminum, but has anyone had issues with rust (screen, nuts/bolts)? Also, fits tiny "logs" only? TY!

small logs only. Some of the usual rust on exposed nuts and bolts, screen is ok. I've had it for 3 years and it is still in very good shape. I do keep it covered so that might be helping.

There are issues with rust if left out and the firewood logs have to be cut smaller than standard size.

Yes it rusts just like all cast iron products... A little steel wool and it actually gives it a nice patina.

I don't think so. It seems a lot more heavy-duty (and heavy) than aluminum. Possibly cast-iron? We've had, and used, ours for a few years and it is very sturdy. Highly recommend.

I haven't had any problems with the board rusting! This is really a wonderful ironing board - I LOVE IT:)

No, Have not noticed. If i remember right this is an iron casting. They also make one with a bronze casting. Maybe rust gets in the water.

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

I have them on a trailer in Montgomery, AL. They are holding up fine, but water does get into the bolt area and has created some rust. We'll see how long they last...I've had them about 1 year now.

Mine are Tuff's. I was pleasantly surprised by there construction of cast aluminum. I have 6 mounted right now. 2 on an ATV and 4 on one of my tractors. I have a day job so these really do well for my night farming.

I have been trouble by the rust as well.... I have had mine for about 6 months too, and use it constantly.... Any ideas would be helpful because I LOVE this thing!!!!

I have had no problems with use on my alloy wheels. But the threaded bolts to which they fit on the wheel assembly are hardened steel. These bolts attach the alloy wheel rims to these bolts. The cast of my wheel rim has thin, deep holes. Personally, I cannot understand their objection unless, as with my case, it was a matter of whole size.

I can't speak to the issue of rust. However, the pot itself is not particularly sturdy. I bought it to pop popcorn on the stove, which involves heating oil until the corn kernels burst. After just one use, though, the bottom was warped and blackened - I ended up getting rid of it.

I am not sure if it would fit your trailer...mine is on a boat trailer. But I have had no problems with any rust or corrosion.

Those parts are not pure aluminum, their is lead in the metal. My coating came off and exposed the actual metals. see my recent review. This is very dangerous lead based metal.

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 just pulled my last receipt. You can buy diverters directly from Paragon; phone # 1-727-538-4704, for $3.00 a piece. I've never seen a screen rust out; but if yours has, the diverter may have additional problems. I've always bought extra diverters for the filters. Depending on your city water conditions and your pipes, they do eventually develop problems after several years. You can also dip them in CLR. Sometime that will help. Since I have multiple units, I'll buy 6 diverters at a time which will last me for many years. Paragon makes a very good reasonably priced water filter. Hope this helps.

i would recommend against it. It would be prudent to use a single walled stainless unit instead. Best of luck.. viva la java

I have had no problems or issues with this pot at all. I use it for making beer as well as cooking. There is no rust on the one I purchased.
