Fixing the grill and needed to grind off a couple of badly rusted screws. Looking for recommendations for 2 part epoxy that can withstand grill temps up to 600.

I'm not sure I follow...if you grinded off screws, why not replace the
screws?

Grinder off the heads. Remainder still fills the holes. I really don't want to drill them out.

Neither do I. JB-Weld Highheat is rated at 400 degrees continuous and
up to 550 degrees intermittently.

If you ground off screws, the first thing you should attempt to do is
replace it a SS screw or maybe drill it out and put in a nut & bolt or,
maybe, a stainless steel Pop rivet?

I would really worry, depending upon where the repair is made, about
failure during use and the fire hazard or just trying to implement the
famous (in infamous) "3 Second Rule" when those nice steaks are on the
ground. ;-)

Stainless steel screws.

I would suggest drilling out the rest and replacing with screws but if
you're adamant on epoxy, the Blue Magic suggested by JW is a good
option. I've used it with good results but not with high temperatures
you seek.

JB is only good to 450 degrees. Most others are 300 to 400 deg.

There is one product made to go to 600 degrees though, made by Cotronics.

Problem solved. Glad I could help.
