Hello,
Just wanted to know if I can fix this myself and how. Obviously I have never done anything like this ☺️ but I'd like to give it a go.I don't have a big budget, I like to salvage what I can and this wee burner looks quite sweet 😊

Possibly but it's unlikely

No.
 
It's a shame, it was once a good little stove. But the broken face frame together with neglect and the elements have reduced it to scrap metal. The door might be able to find a home on eBay or craigslist, but the rest, sadly no.

Check with a fabrication shop before you throw it out. I welded a cast iron pump jack and have been using it for close to 40yrs. Cast iron needs to be heated to cherry red before it is welded. But if you really want to restore it check with someone that has the expertise to give you there opinion.

If that was the only issue I would agree but the rest of the stove is in such bad shape I just don't see that it's worth the effort

Thank you 😊 I will certainly consider that x
