    Vermont Castings Explorer Questions

    Hi there. I just purchased an unused Vermont Castings Explorer fireplace insert. It’s been sitting in a garage and has some rust on it. Not sure if this cast iron insert was coated or painted. Any suggestions as to how I can deal with the light rust spots? Please see pictures. Thanks in advance.
