So the last time I smoked a pork butt I had spritzed it with apple juice throughout the cook. When finished I smothered out the charcoal and let it cool down. I went to take off the lid and it was sealed close. I pulled on it pretty hard but it didnt budge. I finally got some hot water and poured on the lid and it quickly came off.
So today I'm about to get it ready to smoke some chicken quarters and I noticed a little orange rust where the handle is spot welded to the lid. It looks like I may have chipped the coating because the handle did seem to bend when I was pulling hard. Not too badly but I think it may have chipped the coating and then its been raining ever since. Now I keep the original cover on it but I'm sure just the humidity gets in no matter what.
So even though it is such a small thing, and by small I mean my wife couldn't even see it when i was pointing it out to her, it's been driving me insane. I was thinking of hitting it with some black nail polish or at the very least maybe applying a drop of oil. Should I just not worry about? I know my OCD wont let move on from it lol.
