I've had my stove for about 4 years now and should preface this by saying I live in Japan where it can be very humid at times of the year. Every year I get some parts of my stove that develop rust. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Perhaps a thin coating of oil would help? I would use mineral oil or something without any smell. If it works, be prepared for a bit of smoke in the autumn with the first burn. But if you do this on a warm day you can leave some windows open and the smoke will be gone in one or two burns.
eernest4 I just took a look at the stove black. Thanks. Have you ever used it, and would it also smoke for the first fire after it's applied? BeGreen would it be possible to use vegetable based oils as well on the stove?
I don't know. I thought about vegetable based oils. They might work, but tend to go rancid over time in heat and humidity. However, this would be just a very thin film, it may be ok.
