    Or a dry film moly spray. We used to spray threaded tool joints with it. Industrial supply is probably where to go to get it. Once dry it'll not let any fumes off. This is similar and may work.

    Send your stove to Robar?

    Seriously, I suspect low odor, heat resistant waxes will be the best long-term options, but I’m way out of my lane.

    How about something you'd use to season cast iron cookware ?

    I usually use Crisco, doubt it would hold up.

    Very interesting, fumes are still a concern, though.

    Works well on the hinges of my molds and it doesn't coke when it burns off.

    It doesn't look like coking would be your issue, so just about any food grade or natural wax or grease and graphite would probably work. The wax would just be a carrier to actually get the graphite in the hinges.
    Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.

    I have seen a variety of food grade lubricants at the industrial wholesaler- a look at the CRC catalog may be in order.

    Here is a possibility.

    I recalled that Tungsten DiSulfide has a very high (1200 F) working temp. Polish your bearing surfaces and try a 5 micron coating.

    Back to add: Only $200 a pound it must be good.
