These two quotes say it all for me. You say they haven't offered to make it right but they have according to your first post made on the group. "After a year of BS with the seller they have agreed to a full refund and will take my stove away, but will not replace.. "
You don't want the stove the way it is, they obviously aren't going to replace the stove for a paint issue so you should take the refund and move on. I'm sure you can afford to burn some oil for a week or two without going broke while you shop for a new stove. Going to court at this point seems a bit silly to me.....
