Rust Prevention
suggestions for a food safe oil/lubricant to use in preventing rust/corrosion on/in camp cooking equipment would be appreciated

Is a light cooking oil a problem?

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
Re: Rust Prevention
Some people like the smell of Ballistol, I can't stand it and can't even imagine how it would taste if some got on your food. I think I would also go with some cooking oil or maybe some mineral oil.
Food grade mineral oil would probably be better, cooking oil may go rancid after a while.

I'd go with Food Grade Mineral Oil, too.

Re: Rust Prevention
I've used gallons of Ballistol on my guns and other things with moving parts and absolutely love the stuff, but it's not getting anywhere near any food-related objects.
The smell is definitely not conducive to eating. To me, it's always smelled like a colony of hacked-off ants.

Re: Rust Prevention
I hadn't considered food grade mineral oil, that certainly appears to be a very viable option .... suggestions appreciated
