You will need at least the 800F rated powder coat for the FB - any color as long as you want black.
The CC could be standard powder coat in colors rated at 400F but it will still discolor around the connection to the FB.
I wouldn't recommend you powder coat it
And on the eighth day God created barbecue …. because he DOES love us and he wants us to be happy.
Current smokers: Egor (trailered RF) and Easybake (tabletop pellet drive)
It's liquid ceramic but I've only heard of it being used on firearms. I never thought of using it on a smoker, I'll have to check into that it sounds like a great idea.
Yes it does sound like a good idea!
Somebody should start a thread on this stuff….

Only thing wrong with cerakote is the cost to do something as large as a smoker and it must be baked on in an oven similar to powdercoat. Not sure if building a fire and heating from the inside would work but it's a thought.
I have a buddy who's family runs a powder coating business. They also do ceramic coating. I had an exhaust done on a 1929 model A ford. When I got it back it was a dull light grey but after a little time with a buffer it looked like polished aluminum
They make an air cure as well. Had my crawfish burner done, everytime I use it it gets cherry red. Still looks great. It has faded just a tad, but looks like a matte finish. These smokers don't get near that hot.
Anyways lil progress
We have a stack, and shelves. Almost time to go shoot a hog now baw!
