Anti-seize paste

[RickH]

Going to be assembling a new gravity smoker. (Think auto feed charcoal BBQ)
Been suggested to use anti-seize compound on the various screws & bolts.
They are typically M4 Steel black painted machine screws.

Any suggestions for an anti-seize paste /thread dip.

I'd go for white ceramic brake grease - available from motor factors.
It withstands heat much better than Coppaslip or whatever.

OK ..I have a small tin of white ceramic grace grease from when I changed disc brakes on my car ...I'll use that then.

Its a beast

I like the concept, gives all benefits of a pellet smoker/grill without running costs of pellets. Any charcoal goes in, lump wood, briquettes.
it gets up to temp in less than 10mins, digital control keeps set temp spot on, up to 4 meat probes gives you detail of how cooks are going, can all be controlled or monitored by an app.

Good up to 800 degrees C

The copper has the curious advantage that it works even after the grease base has all burned away. I've removed old manifold nuts where there was nothing but a dust of fine copper particles remaining on the threads, and they were not seized.

Contrary to the marketing, it has no advantage over other lubes at lower temperatures.

My current vehicle has a lot of aluminium, so I don't use copper grease any more
