Recently purchased a grandpa bear, it is in good shape but has some minor surface rust and a few fire bricks need replacing. I have read a lot (mostly on this forum) but still have many questions on these stoves. So, to start off, I want to bring the stove back to "like new" condition before moving the 450+ lbs of grandpa in my basement.
What should I use to paint or polish the stove with once all the rust is gone? I read that Stove Bright metallic is the correct product to use. Now, I think the doors are cast iron and I have also read that you should use stove polish on that. I don't know if I should use one or both. Lastly, Were any of the fir trees or the Fisher name originally painted white?
I have grown-up with wood stoves but haven't used a Fisher before and this is definitely the best built stove I have ever seen! Hopefully I can get many years of warmth out of her.
