    Jotul 500 Rust

    Have an Ivory colored Jotul 500 that the top has rusted, along with a few chips here and there. The top is the biggest concern. I contacted a local Jotul dealer a couple of years ago and inquired about how to resolve...they basically told me to live with it, as it is finished with a ceramic...

    How to PAINT a soapstone stove (Woodstock Fireview)

    I want to paint this ugly soapstone over with some paint. I am going to paint over all the brick and old wood in this whole house while I'm at it. Maybe a nice builder's beige color, like the late 90's/early 2000's. Something in the cheapest latex I can find, slopped on with a 50 cent brush...

    Paint peeling from fireplace patch

    We're converting to gas and so I had my fireplace inspected. The gentleman patched a couple of spots in the fireplace with a grey unknown to me product. We have since painted it with black high heat oil paint. The paint did not adhere to the patched area. Thought I would come here because I'm...

    Stove Bright Paint Colors

    Hi everyone, curious if anyone has pictures of their stoves painted with stove bright. Can’t seem to find any example pictures on the internet. Probably will just go with satin black on mine to play it safe but curious about some of the other colors.

    Roofer painted chimney

    The roofers painted my Supervent chimney to match the roof. I did not want it painted and no one asked. Prior to job start I told the roofing contractor verbatim, " If you need to change anything on the chimney, let me know". and there's nothing in the contract about painting it. Once it's...

    Painting buck 91 and single wall pipe

    What would you recommend paint wise for painting single wall pipe and a buck 91 stove? And would 1200°F paint be high enough for the exterior? I don't want a horrible paint job, I tend to want to do it right the first time and not have to go through the trouble of doing it again a second time. TIA!

    Cleaning and Repainting Old Stove

    I bought an older plate steel stove for a decent price. The unit is structurally good but pretty sooty/grimmy. What is the best thing to use to clean this? After I clean it I think I will likely repaint. The current paint is just alittle worn but not peeling or flaking. As far as prep, how much...

    Hi All, We have purchased a Quadra Fire 5100 insert and are having a custom surround made. The surround needs to be painted, so we need paint that matches the stove (exact black, sheen, etc.).

    Enamel v. Paint

    I just bought an Jotul Oslo F 500 with blue black enamel. It just got installed and it looks like matte black to me. I thought the enamel would be a little shiny because that is how it looks in pictures. At the store they only had matte black so I don't actually know what it looks like in...

My Chimney is 8 inches so I intend to get a 6 inch pipe with a extender to connect to my 8 inch pipe. However, I was wondering if I could either source a 6 inch Majolica Brown pipe, or if anybody...

    Emulsion paint causing fumes?

    Hi, we had a stove fitted 6 months ago which has never stopped giving off a chemical type odour when up to a decent temperature. At first i put this down to the paint on the stove curing but surely that can't be the issue after so long. If anything the smell seems to come from the fire board...
