I'm worried that the coating on a cake rack will burn off and poison
me or my guests.
I have an old gas grill, and the grate that is meant to hold lava
rocks has rusted so much, it is so thin, I can bend it with my little
finger. :)
I can make a good replacement by using two 10" square cake cooling
racks.
One kind is covered with "non-stick", which is I guess an imitation of
teflon. And I'm sure I could find shiny silver-colored metal ones --
I don't know what their outer layer is made of.
Do either of these present a danger to me when the propane gas flames
burn around the metal, and the air rises?
I have a respirator with carbon cannisters meant to absorb poisonous
fumes.
I could use a propane torch to burn off the coating in advance.
Would that be enough, and should I wear the respirator?
You should get racks especially made for cooking. I've heard that |
one should never use the racks from old refrigeraters as cooking
grills because they contain cadmium.

Yes. Don't use coated ones. At best, the coating will burn off
anyway. At worst, it will make you sick as it does so. Start with
the shiny uncoated ones.

Non-stick silicone will pyrolyze with the usual organic smoke. Don't
breathe dispersed crystalline silica. Non-stick Telfon will pyroylze
to release deadly toxic fluorinated alkenes.

It will probably poison you first if you try to burn or burn off the PTFE |
coating. I don't think anyone has ever died from polymer fume fever but you
will feel like you have the flu. You can buy replacement grill parts,
either exact from grill manufacturer or parts that adjust to fit many
grills.
