The grill cleaning brush I had worked great. There was a little rust color on the hooks that hold a flat plate of steel. Anything I should spray on them? Like WD40 or something else?

Nice brush! That one is really good for those large flat surfaces.
I don't spray anything on mine. Clean it out good, remove the stovepipe, cap the flue outlet and put a light bulb inside it to keep it dry.

That is not what I meant.
If the boiler is operating, corrosion over the summer will not be a problem. The cleaning alone is sufficient for trouble free operation.
