Question:

I have an old Ben Franklin Stove (1901) that I would like to have restored. It is very rusty and needs to be sealed better along the top. Do you know where I can get this done in the Northeast and how much would it cost?



Answer:

It's something you could do yourself if you are a bit handy- some steel wool- paint- and some furnace cement (for sealing) - would do it. Otherwise- call a stove shop or chimney sweep in your area and see if they will do it or refer you.
