Like @kvetcha i have a baking steel but mine has been doing just fine living in the oven...
@Joe Mac we kept ours on the bottom of the oven (there are no elements there) and ended up having condensation and rust issues.
Mine lives in the unopened box it came in about 5 years ago because I’ve never been sure what to do about this very question.I sealed mine, by initially baking it with oil and leave it is always in. Most often on the second wire rack, but sometimes on the bottom of the oven if I need to use both racks. I’ve had no issues with rust at all after the first year, touch wood.
