Longevity

Wear and Tear on the Large Spider

Under normal conditions, 304 grade stainless is generally resistant to rust and corrosion.   Unfortunately, given the huge temperature swings with ceramic cooking, the temperatures in and around the Spider are anything but normal ambient conditions.   So we need to point out that in all likelihood the Spider will not last forever and will show signs of corrosion.   Exactly how many years a Spider will last is unknown, as we still have not heard of one failing.  To settle our curiosity, we grabbed one that has seen heavy action and gave it a quick buffing.   As you can see, it cleaned right up.
