Ilbruche suggested that I put a patina on the Ranger to prevent rusting, what do you think?

Ilbbruche advice:I used mustard (French's classic yellow), rubbed it on with my finger and let it sit over night. Ill post more pics here in a minute.
 
very nice...reminds me of henna.

as you use it for cutting more acidic things, and keep it in moist environs, it will even out. or you can give it some more treatments of the mustard...
 
Aww, ya done it wrong.

Best way I've found so far is the following:

Take two full slabs of ribs.
Season with salt, pepper, whatever you like.
Boil on stove top or in casserole dish in oven.
Remove. Take outside to the BBQ.
Cook on medium adding BBQ sauce every 5 to 10 minutes.
Add a little more sauce.
Remove from grille when done.

Use Lone Ranger to cut/separate ribs.

If patina isn't quite to your liking, repeat with bone-in chicken, and/or another slab or two of ribs.

Take the leftovers, shred 'em with the Lone Ranger.
Place in pan on stove top with liberal amount of your favorite BBQ sauce.
Stir with the LR.
When done, place on Onion roll, cut with LR.

Repeat this process 'til you've reached the desired patina.

Hope this helps,

Chris
 
Siguy,

Thanks, this is the first time I've done this. I have old users that have a natural patina, but never created it before.

Brian,

I was sitting on my porch one day (I live on a dirt road in the sticks - bears and deers in the yard, you get the picture..) and black limo comes up the road and stops, a guy in a tux comes up through the sun roof wearing a tux and says "Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?" I laughed so hard that I almost dropped my sister and her banjo out of my lap!!!

Apparently, onions, lemon juice, mustards will all work....

Rupestris,

Great plan, I'll try it this weekend!

Thanks, m! Love the story. LMAO! Hope you didn't break your sister or her banjo.

Rupestris,

Thanks a lot. Now I'm salivating. I'll be back here in awhile after I cook some meat and eat it.
 
Looks good dude.

You can go over it multiple times if you want. You'll find the areas where the mustard is thinnest oxidize more. You can also use 600 grit wet dry sandpaper or steel wool to remove the patina if you want to.

This is the one I put on mine.

Doing more applications gives it a funky multicoloer layered effect.

Ilbruche - Very cool.. I learned that lighter coats with finger swirls is the way for me. I did the one side a little heavy and you can't see the swirl as a result..

Brian - All true (except the sister part...). Between Rupestris and Orrey's posts, we need to have beer-drinking, knife wielding, cook-off around here...
 
That looks amazing! Did you say something about beer and a cook-off? When?! Where?! I'm in!!
 
You think Marty Simon would consider hosting a WS&S cook-off? I've always wanted to go up for one of their programs, but getting away for multiple nights is tough for me. I'd bring the beer!
