I would think so. Don't have one, but the outside is metal, and many metals oxidize/rust.

Is the kiln in a temperature controlled environment? Heat and a/c?

Before I had my studio built I kept my kiln in the garage, wrapped in the original plastic wrap stuff. After it was in the studio for a while I noticed little spots of rust appearing...only on the outside of the kiln. It never affected the performance and never amounted to more than cosmetic blemishes...just sayin', you've got company in your boat.

Why it rusts is, brick and other kiln material are pores, they suck up moister.
Every time you turn the kiln on it and it heats up it sweats, wherever there is a crack in the constriction is where it will rust as the steam escape's.
