Paint bubbling, peeling, or discoloration on the exterior or near the firepot area.

Safety first: Ensure the grill is completely cool before touching any painted surfaces.

• 1. Identify the cause:
  • Check for signs of past grease fires or blocked vents.
• 2. Correct the underlying issue:
  • Clean grease and ash thoroughly.
  • Ensure proper airflow and avoid blocking vents with foil.
• 3. Cosmetic repair:
  • Lightly sand loose paint and rust.
  • Touch up with high-temperature grill paint if desired (cosmetic only).
• 4. Replace damaged parts:
  • If structural components are warped or severely damaged, replace the affected panels or the firepot assembly.
