So I picked this stove up from a guy this summer that he had stored in his garage for over a year. He said he painted it with some kind of rust inhibitor for storage.

Well I hooked it up today for a test burn and wow did it ever smoke out the shop! What ever he used it burned right off and showed the rust he left behind! 😂

Looks like I will have to paint her the proper way.

Wipe it down with acetone or alcohol after a steel wool cleaning for good paint adhesion.
