I have to recommend Valspar High Heat or Valspar Wood Stove available at Lowes or Tractor Supply if you are planning on using rattle cans
Note: Yes I am a Valspar Employee, but this is damn fine paint

[The Czar]

Well that was a shameless plug....

[SoloQue]

They pay my bills, what can I say

[The Czar]

No no.....I'll pass....and since I like valspar I'll let it slide.... ;)

I honestly played with all the different brands of high-heat black spit cans out there over the past few years. Valspar has the best looking and most even finish of all of them.

One question Solo - What really is the difference between High-Heat and WoodStove ?

What really is the difference between High-Heat and WoodStove

Probably just a marketing ploy to specifically appeal to the perceived uses. I really cannot answer with true authority as that is a different division. The paint I work with is designed for food containers. My plant makes the paint that lines cans so that food and metal do not touch. So, next time you are enjoying a cold beer from a can or a can of soup odds are I tested the paint before it was shipped off to be put on the metal. Nowadays you really can't walk down a grocery aisle without seeing our products but folks don't even think about such stuff. The Birmingham plant effects about 65% of the canned groceries and beverages packed in the US. OK, sorry for the drawn out non-answer

Solo, I wish we could get intouch with someone from the high temp division and make a plea for some different colors!On another note, the Lowes here in Rolla does not carry Valspar High Temp

[TuscaloosaQ]

Tractor supply and lowes in Tuscaloosa Neither one has the valspar. I would try it, but do you know how many rattle cans it takes to paint a 250 gallon coomer plus the carpul tunnell issue kicks in on rattle cans..... Solo see if you can find somewhere near t town to but it I would try it I have 2 cookers going on now.... I just bought some pit therm $$ 150.00 a gallon have not tried it but money is not the issue quality is. MY lord they send people to the moon Where in the heck is the high temp paint???????

Frank it is ppg pit therm I will try and find a link rated at 900 but the rep said it will take a lot more than that

[SoloQue]

Frank it is ppg pit therm

First it's the Bama thing and now PPG ... man TQ, you're killin me

[Frank_Cox]

is that the same stuff I told you about? if so that is why it is Black! I got the PPG stuff and they tinted it French Metallic Blue for me. it stays on great, just turns color if the temp goes over 800*F see the last pics in This Thread...

[k.a.m.]

PPG Pitt-Therm is my preferred paint for cookers. When you use it with an inorganic Zinc primer it is a very durable product. It comes in White, gray and black.
You will not find it at just any old PPG home store as it is an industrial coating.

You can also use Flame control, it can be mixed in different colors. Keep in mind that black and silver offer the best protection some colors will lose their heat rating.
