No rust on mine, either.....gets lots of use.
It works, but I was glad to move on, in several ways. I don't see many peeps who regret one.
Smokeware should be OEM IMO.
One of many parts, where BGE falls behind.
It works well with the Flame Boss I use periodically.
I'm not saying that a Smokeware cap isn't worth it.......just that the OEM daisy wheel works just fine if you can deal with it, and I can.South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS -

Gotta agree with all the Daisy Wheel users. I've cooked in rain with no issues but that just don't happen no more. As to setting the DMFT and your settings changing when opening the dome you need to set the hinge screw and center screw in a line with the handle. It won't move then. You can also put a spring on the hinge screw that keep the top from spinning-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini.

My BGE's are at the front end of a covered porch so the rain/snow entry is of minimal concern. Regarding how to keep it from rotating, here's a link that should clarify:

And with respect to rust/weathering just hit with some cooking spray periodically and always store inside the BGE upon the shut-down phase. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
