Hello
This Quadrafire CB1200 has see alot of use in a basement that may have had some dampness. Dampness is the Pellet stove's # 1 adversary!
Even though it works fine, looks like time for a little touch up?
I brought out the Big Gun by using a 40 lb Abrasion blaster connected to a 210 PSI DeWalt compressor using Black Diamond - ultra fine (Coal Slag) but that is not all that is needed to perk this boy up?
Getting and setting up a good blaster is not easy, here was my struggle.

Ultra fine Black diamond is a little messy but works good at $8 per bag.
Anyone else do blasting with Aluminum Oxide? That is rich stuff @ $50 per bag!
