Had my smokette about a year now and just love it to death. Turkey seems to be the favorite around here, the CS just yields such a moist bird that those who wouldn't look at white meat before just fight for the scraps. I have had my CS up on bricks off the ground and under the deck with the offical CS cover on it. All the same it has flaked a bit of paint off around the bottom edges. Question: is a regular bbq high temp flat black the right paint to touchup after a light sanding? And then, how do I keep it fresh? Also, I have worn my grilles down to the brass, as in no chrome left in the center of the racks. Does CS offer a more durable grille? I just clean it with dish detergent and a chore girl type scrubbing sponge. The sides are fine, but apparently the acids from the meats have removed the chrome. Is this a health or safety problem?thanks, bj.
