Am looking for ideas to help repair my Regency F2200 Wood Stove (Steel). Yesterday my daughter for some reason was throwing around a pair of he brother's pajama's which happened to land on top of the wood stove. I scrap off as much of the brunt materials as I could and shut down the stove. Now am not sure what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Get off what you can and just keep burning. It will cook off most of it and after the season is over you can repaint it if there is any left.

The Pajama Warmer Story
I once had a friend who would take her pajamas and set them on top of a wood burning stove, turning and flipping them until she had toasty warm pajamas. When retiring to the bedroom, she would have nice warm pajamas when hopping into a cold bed. One chilly Friday night in late Autumn I was at my cabin located on the shores of Long Lake in Iron River, Wisconsin, The cabin was always cold, and before retiring I remembered my friend and her warm pajamas. I wondered what it would feel like to put on warm pajamas, so I tried warming my pajamas on the wood stove. Much to my delight, when I put on the pajamas they felt pretty darn good. Of course, I would never dare mention to any of my friends that I warm my pajamas before putting them on, but I do!
Warmest regards,....Maybe there is something to that.
Sorry, I was no help, but I thought the story kinda applied.

I warm up my children's clothes before school most mornings.....one of the simple pleasures of life that should always be indulged, just as my grandmother warmed my mother's on her cook stove. A keen eye and quick hand are recommended.

I had an issue with a balloon...started losing some helium and of course it drifted over to the stove one night and melted right on it. Scraped what i could and the rest is still there. The only reason I have not sanded it off and repainted the stove is because i had just done it 2 months before the balloon incident...
Whoa CT, that is something I never thought about. I have a helium balloon hanging out on the ceiling in my stove room, where it has been since my daughter's birthday. I really should get that down from there.
Just goes to show ya. Just when you think you've figured out every safety angle, you'll find there are at least a handful out there waiting to pounce. "Fire started by wayward mylar balloon" is not one, I admit, that I considered.

Can use a brass brush in a drill to bring it down to the bare metal and repaint with hi temp black.
Thanks Pyro Extraordinaire,
Is that the first time you have paint your stove. I will be undertaking this task for the first time in the near future. I think I only need to repaint the top, everything else is good. Did you use spray paint, or the paint brush type of paint. Am wondering what will give me the better finish. Any tips you could pass along would be appreciated.

Last time I used the spray I had overspray dust everywhere. If you use spray, cover everything everywhere near! The brush is more controllable in that regard.
I made out great with the brushed on paint. After a few firings it evened out well and has held perfectly for a year now.
Last time I sprayed (it may have been a bad can, I'm not sure) but it didn't hold up well at all. First time I tried cleaning the stove w/ a damp cloth I found the paint coming off. I haven't had this w/ the brushed finish.

Wire brush, sand, wipe down with mineral spirits and spray with Stove Bright satin black. Naturally in the off season. I loved the warm pajama stories.

I always used the spray. Seemed to get a nicer factory finish...but yeah, either bring the stove outside or cover EVERYTHING. If your not sure what paint to buy, just visit your local stove shop.
