Why does Stainless Steel Grill parts rust?
This is another question we have been asked, with almost as many answers as the gas grill.
I met some customers who bought a stainless steel grill with a lifetime guarantee because they no longer wanted to buy a new grill every two years.
Two years later their Stainless Steel Grill was rusted and they felt betrayed.
There are many answers to this question, but most of them are simple and sometimes obvious.
One of the reasons is the quality of the grill parts.
We know that restaurants and resorts cannot buy a new grill for their kitchen every few years, so we assume that if we buy items of commercial quality, we can get the same quality as professionals
Now, any cheap, low-cost manufacturer can refer to their products as a business series or a professional series and conduct associations.
Customers were cheated by adding hundreds of dollars in profit to the price.
When the terms \"business\" and \"professional\" are used as the name of the product model and not as a true description of the quality of the product, I have seen this in many industries.
Many of these manufacturers will use low grade stainless steel to facilitate connection with commercial quality.
Many of us do not realize that there are many different types of stainless steel.
We do not understand these differences and we will look for stainless steel as a symbol of a carefully crafted product.
I can\'t tell you how long the buyer will walk into my retail store claiming they want a stainless steel grill.
In their view, they asked for the use of the word \"stainless steel\" to reach a specific level of quality.
With some additional questions, they will share their belief that stainless steel will save them the inconvenience of replacing grill parts during the year or buying a brand new Grill next year.
In fact, there are several types of stainless steel, many of which are no better than ordinary steel and are visually difficult to distinguish.
See who made the grill-
Not the importer, but the actual manufacturer.
S. -made barbecue grills often reveal the type of stainless steel used.
If the manufacturer offers a warranty, call them to see if someone answers or if the warranty is fake.
When we purchased the Stainless Steel Grill made in the US, we spent more money and had higher expectations for the product.
Contact the local dealer to find out if the local professional who repairs the grill recommends the product.
Commercial products will not say \"commercial\" on it, nor will restaurants or resorts buy their appliances on huge retail exchanges, which have the lowest advertising prices in town.
I have a customer who bought $300.
I think they spent a lot of money.
For BBQ owners, the above information about different types of stainless steel is applicable.
Keep the grill covered and clean the grill as often as possible.
Today, carefully manufactured products are made from stainless steel designated as 304.
304 stainless steel is commonly called 18/8 stainless steel because the main chemical additives make it elastic outdoors.
In order to be considered as 304 stainless steel, not only is the iron oxide discharged to the extent that the magnet cannot hold it, but nickel and chromium are added in the smelting process in the amount of 8% nickel and chromium 18% chromium.
Chemicals added to stainless steel protect materials in their specific applications.
For indoor refrigerators that do not compete with humidity, rain, snow or heat, different stainless steel is used.
Due to the presence of nickel and chromium, the outdoor gas grill uses 18 specifications 304 stainless steel.
Nickel is a hardening agent.
Nickel is shiny and attractive, but the main benefit of it is as a hardening agent.
When stainless steel starts to rust, it is displayed as a \"pit \".
The Pitting occurs on the surface of stainless steel, like a point.
Nickel, as a hardening agent, usually prevents this from happening.
Chromium protects the stainless steel surface in an oil-protected cast iron pan.
Chromium reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere and forms a barrier on the surface of stainless steel.
If the surface of the stainless steel has been damaged or scratched, the surface can be slightly polished, and Chrome will re-form the barrier.
Chromium is added during smelting, so scratches-
Rust can not remove the protective effect of chromium. Mid-
A grill like Weber grill and grill uses a combination in manufacturing.
While most of the stainless steel on these Grill is the name of 400, the cooking grille, heat shield and gas burner will be made of 304 stainless steel.
This is because the interior of the grill is wiped less and more confusing than the hood.
For a very expensive grill, the reason your grill is rusted is grease.
I have seen the DCS Grill for more than 20 years and there is no pit outside the grill, but the burner has been replaced 6 times.
In rare cases, the customer claims that the hood is rusted, not usually rust, but a slight discoloration caused by heat.
When the grill is rusted, it is a burner, heat shield, Rod tray, cooking grille, etc.
The grill parts in the fire box will cause grease, feces and carbon discoloration due to high temperature.
All of these things are combined to cover stainless steel and prevent Chromium from reacting with oxygen in the atmosphere.
Once a year, I took out the stove, heating plate and stove on the grill. I clean -really clean -
Inside of Firebox, I cleaned up the parts I removed.
I have a brush attached to my drill bit and I scrub the grille, burner and even fire box at 60 mph with a brush.
It did a great job and the stainless steel looked great before I cooked it again.
Use less BBQ
Expensive stainless steel, know it is decorative.
They know that renovations allow assumptions about quality, but people who don\'t sell grills will point this out.
Either accept that a new grill must be purchased every two years or start buying replacement grill parts.
Next time you buy a barbecue in the same price range, buy an Aluminum Grill made in the United States.
Pure aluminum will last forever.
Usually, the best tool to solve a problem is education.
Once we understand a problem, the solution will appear in our normal operation.
Once you know that chromium needs oxygen to protect your stainless steel
Barbecue habits may change.
The way you wipe the grill may be aimed at this issue, not just brushing off the burnt food.
Another thing to keep in mind is the location of your grill relative to your pool.
If in direct contact with high quality stainless steel, the pool chemicals can cause corrosion of the grill.
However, stainless steel will also be damaged as long as it is close to the pool or the pool chemicals stored.
When chlorine and other chemicals slowly dissipate into the atmosphere, they are achieved by chemical binding with oxygen in the atmosphere.
Near the pool, the lack of oxygen atoms causes the same effect as covering stainless steel with grease.
Chromium cannot react with oxygen in the air.
If you have a well
Build a stainless steel gas grill and cook on it often because you will spend money on it.
The heat also reduced the confusion.
After cooking, dry the grill at a height or within ten to twelve minutes and scrape off the stainless steel.
Once or twice a year, take apart or call a professional.
A well maintained gas grill should last forever.
