CI rust

I store my CI grid and daisy wheel cap in my LBGE and have started to develop  rust.  Has never happened before.   Any idea what is causing? 

Happy Easter to all!

    Yeah I agree. Especially after a high heat cook. Give it a light coat of oil just like you would a cast iron skillet. I usually do it before and after a cook.

    I seasoned mine like cast iron, took the wheel apart, rubbed very lightly with flax oil, tossed in the oven for a bake at max setting ~550.  Let it sit in there for 90 minutes or so, then shut it off and let it come down slowly.  I repeated 3 times to get a good season on it.  Since then, i have left mine out in the rain, etc. and never developed rust.  Some steel wool should take the rust right off.

    If anybody is near phx and needs rust removed from egg related parts or CI cookware, just message me and I'll take care of it for you.  I do an unrelated type of blasting for my job so I have the equipment on hand.  I realize this is a national forum, but thought I'd offer.
     
    This is a free offer to local or travelling forum members - I'm doing this at no charge and I'm not trying to sell anything.  (and I have no t-shirts to sell).
