Haha..I can imagine the trouble from baking parts in the oven. I'm glad you posted this. The heat riser tube and manifold cover appeared as it was not painted or otherwise coated when new. I wasn't certain, though and did not find any new ones on the market. With the corrosion these parts had painting them seemed the best option.
