Ok my Char broil may not look too keen on the outside but the results
from the inside are awesome. My need is to know if there is a way to
protect the outside of the cooker well enough to withstand the salt air
and proximity to the ocean. We live less than 1,000 ft from the hi tide
line on the left side of the good ol' USA. It's rustin like a ....well
this is a family channel so I will not say what I was going to........

Aside from hi temperature grill paint, not much you can do. Maybe vacuum
seal it in a big bag? Purge a big bag with nitrogen? Move a hundred miles
to the right?

Ol'Hippie, probably a PTIA, but clean out your ask pan after each use.
Ashes have the capacity of holding and retaining moisture; making it a
nice environment for rust to form. Try and keep it dry in there.
Also, since you're probably using lump, it burns hotter; a stress on
the metal which can also be hospitable to rust (not much way around
that). Keep a can of hi temp paint handy, and cover the critter.

Yeah your right its definately the temp, I remove the ask!!---ash
regularly. Who the heck cares what the outside looks like anyway? I
don't eat whats on the outside. Guess a fancy schmancy cover is in
order. And I just might get me some fire engine red engine paint just
to thrill the wife.....
