I'm ready to cruise :)
 
That's a whole lotta maintenance. Well done.
But, I see all those runs stains on the upper lip. You're going to lose your card if you don't clean that thing up! ;-)

On a serious note, be careful the bottoms of the side shrouds don't dig/cut in to the power cord insulation or deeper.

The side shrouds did that already, hence new fan assy & cord :mad:

I'll get to the upper lip, it's on my list !
 
Well tuck

Well tuck the cord behind the shroud where it belongs so you ain't having to buy another fan assy. I'm going to keep my eye on the upper lip ;-)
 
@Hogwild , I've tried to clean it. Not having a ton of luck.

Caused by a cast iron pot, on a trivet, trying to get moisture in the house (I know, I know) that boiled over.

Thoughts on how to proceed?
 
I'd wire brush it, then hit it with whatever stove paint the factory uses. Manufacturer should be able to tell you that.

I think my can of Stove Brite is going to last about as long as my stove at the rate I am going. :)

Stove bright paint. A light coat will make it good as new
