Hello,
I bought a used Fisher Papa Bear wood stove last year as a back up heating supply and ended up heating my whole house last winter. It's down in my basement and I love it.
I just noticed there is a rust spot on the top of the stove. How would I go about fixing this? I went to my local hardware store and found stove paint. The paint said it was for cast iron and did not mention steel plate.
Some do it your self sites have suggested bringing the stove outside, sand blasting the entire stove down to the bare steel and repainting. This stove is such a beast, it almost killed me getting it down into the basement. I would prefer not to do this, but want to do the right job.
If anyone has any insight as to how I could fix this rust spot, I would appreciate it.
THX!
Craig
