Paint peeling or bubbling on exterior near firebox or chimney

Safety first: Ensure the grill is completely cool.

• Lightly sand the affected area to remove loose paint and rust.
• Wipe clean and dry thoroughly.
• Apply a manufacturer‑approved high‑heat paint suitable for grills, following label instructions.
• If metal is warped or severely thinned, consult Oklahoma Joe’s or a technician; structural parts may need replacement.

Warning: Do not paint interior cooking surfaces or the inside of the cook chamber.
