I have recently acquired a large ceramic outdoor cooker. The top damper
threads up and down to open/close. Temps inside can reach 800F, so the
thread (3/4-10) needs some unusual lubrication. At the same time, you don't
want anything that will drip onto the food, or dry up and flake toxic stuff
onto the food.

These cookers have a recurrent problem with stuck top dampers. I am sure
that some kind of anti-sieze or hi-temp grease must exist that will work.

Ideas?

GWE

Phillips Milk of Magnesia, you can buy it at most grocery or drug stores.

We have used it with great results for assembly/disassemble of heat treating
fixtures.

You're kidding! Just goop it on there? Isn't that stuff runny?

I'll bet an acid brush would be a good applicator for that goop.
