Does this primer have a max working temperature? If I use this on parts of a custom grill (which gets hot) will it degrade, flake, or burn off?

Something will happen, and it won't be good. You need hi temp paint and primer for the job you are doing.

Yes, I think so. This is a rust reformer product that is probably not for high temperatures. Your high temperature paint is only as good as the base upon which it is used. This is informed opinion. Contact the manufacturer for their answer.

Suprised it was damaged!! Mine was packed like a very well! As for the temp? I had that problem yesterday. Smoked a pork roast. Fired up just fine and was running too hot 250! Had both burners on low and both dampers open all the way. So, I turned the valve back on the propane tank. Next think I know the temp is at 150 and when I turn it up the temp will not increase. I shut everything down. Opened the valve on the propane tank all the way and restarted it. Worked fine after that. The propane regulators are very cheap now days and seem to have some issues. I have only used it 3 times and here are some suggestions. Keep what you are smoking if it is a small amount at the same level as the temp gauge. Only use 1 burner at a time. Why? When the 1st one burns out of wood chips you start the other. Then you can change out the chips and it is not hot. Wrap the pans in tin foil! They stay nice and it is an easy clean up when you are done. I am also looking into getting a very thin fire proof seal for the door. It is metal against metal and leaks some smoke. May not be worth the cost but a thought. Also..Make sure you burn it off!! Do it slow and work the vents and the doors as it heats up! They will stick! Hope this helps! Going to do a big turkey this weekend?! Yikes!!!

Its tough paint, but its epoxy based (like hard plastic), so I don't think it would hold up to extreme heat very well if its really close to the burner. I would probably suggest trying high heat rated spray paint instead.

I used it on a child's riding toy. Has withstood the rigors of that. Just make sure each coat is light and allowed to completely dry. I did not use a primer.

This is food grade grease, so its viscosity (40 @ 40°C) is probably lower than most applications. It probably has lower life span, too. In short, I don't have an answer for you - sorry.

I have used my grill at least once a week or more for the past few years and have not noticed any visible degradation of the Teflon surface. Remember, this is a low cost small grill without the features of larger more expensive units but I think that it gives the most bang for the buck for those who are preparing small meals. Why get a large unit if all you are going to do is grill one chicken breast or one burger, etc.? Cleaning really is simple so long as you clean the unit right away before the grease hardens and bakes on. Simply rub downward along the ridges with a wadded paper towel and then with a damp to wet paper towel and the unit is clean and ready for its next use.

I've gone above that no problem, you might damage the "cure". I've used it on the grill too and that's above 500.

I believe this is probably just accumulated "baked on" residue from your grilling activities over an extended period of time. I periodically brush the "flaking pieces" off, GENTLY, with the wire brush I use to clean the caste iron cooking grates. I then brush off the flakes that fall onto the cooking grate and surrounding area so they don't affect future grilling activities. I don't believe these flakes are any type of hazardous coating coming loose from the inside of the grill's cover.

I used mine in a prime rib roast which I started on 500 degrees to sear (20 minutes or so) then turned it down to 325 until it reached desired doneness. Probe and remote worked fine. :-)

yes it will. i had a bubbled up spot on my island from a hot pan. I just sanded it down as smooth as i could before applying the initial primer. From certain angles i can still see a slight circle shape from where the original burn mark was, but i'm perfectly happy with the results.

Yes - I just overheated my grill to 700f with the stone and aside from the oils turning the stone dark, dark brown the stone came out AoK. Be sure that the stone is dry or it will crack for sure.

Possibly ask the manufacturer? I know this is months late and I apologize for neglecting the email. I don't think it is a terribly high temp, but I wouldn't touch it with bare skin. It melted the stencil material that I bought to use with it just fine; I'm thinking it's in the ballpark temperature of a wood-burning pen, but I don't know how many degrees that is.

I have used it on high on a 15000 btu burner when I am in a huge hurry and have had no problem with it in 18 years, and on the 12000 btu burner it is always on the highest heat. The cover of copper on the bottom of the coil will last longer if you do not try to melt it with blow torch like heat/flames.But, that said, I have put it on the highest heat and it is still working away wonderfully in daily use.

I would think that that should work. I wouldn't know if it may start to flake off after time. I would let it cure for ~48 hours, then start with low fires until all the moisture has cured out of it.

I've used it over my BBQ and measured the temp with my infrared thermometer at 900 degrees. The pan suffered no damage whatsoever, but the pizza was toast :-D. I've also preheated it in a 550 degree oven and got the pan to reach over 600 degrees dozens of times. No issues of any kind. I've since moved on to 1/2" thick A36 steel for baking pizzas just to get more thermal mass and heat transfer, but cast iron does fine if you know how to work with it.

This product does take more effort than other cast iron products I've tried. But I did get it to work. From what I understand all bare (non-enamel coated) cast iron products have some sort of oil or wax coating to prevent it from rusting during transport and while sitting on shelves prior to sale. This coating does need to be removed prior to cooking use. I do remember this coating was worse than usual compared to other cast iron products I've used. You basically have to cook/burn off this coating off. Mine came with instructions on how to do this. I recommend you do it outside on an open fire at camp or in your grill. After the burn off, I noticed there was still some residue when I tried to season it. So I washed it with soap and water. Then I heated up some Crisco in it, used the Crisco as a solvent to remove the residue. I was finally able to season the wok after that. So again a lot of work, but I was able to get it to work. In hindsight, I'm not sure it was worth it. BTW, if you're worried about stuff made in China, unfortunately, you'd be worried about almost everything we can buy here :)
