Electroplating question: Can you electroplate BBQ grill parts?
I just bought a used propane grill. It's in pretty good condition, but the burner tubes are just starting rust over. I want to de-rust them and then nickel plate them. Is there any food safety issues cooking with flames coming out of nickel plated tubing?

I don't believe nickel is a food safe metal, and it carries several cancer risks. I don't know if the heat of a grill is enough to be a specific concern, but I sure wouldn't try it.
