Rusted bottoms or other areas

If too much is rusted there's no viable repair

Or just sand down and paint with spray can paint

Dirty pits

Scrape, clean pit and wire brush the grills

Replace with replacement grills

Repair with metal stock, flat, tube or brackets
Hack saw off uneven leg ends

Tighten up screws
Make replacement handles from stock

Small holes in pit

Use Liquid Nails to seal
Use sheet metal pieces to seal, attach with Liquid Nails

Use WD-40 to free up
Remove broken vents, and use as is without them
