And every time you fire up the stove, every dog and cat in the neighborhood will be over waiting for some scrapsI’m sure this is a bad idea but I need to be told why lol —
If I was to restore a rusty old Morso cast iron stove, would it be theoretically possible to just use cooking oil to seal and blacken the cast iron, just like an old frying pan?
450 won't burn off the seasoning. I reseason at 450. But over 600 will.It gets too hot. To burn off the seasoning on your pan just put it in the oven at like 450 for a couple hours. Just use stove paint.
That is what is done on cookstove tops. Years ago lard was used, but pigs diet no longer give the same results. Different oils work better than others since the smoke point is important. Oil polymerizes at high temperature. It cross links to become a coating with higher than the original smoke point. The hard coating you get in a conventional oven that requires oven cleaner or a higher temperature such as the cleaning cycle built in some ovens to remove is the same material. That is polymerized grease that has formed a hard coating like the seasoning of pans and stove tops. It wears off, and smokes off needing to be recoated at higher temperatures you try to avoid with a cook stove. Stove polish was used on the rest of the stove. Paint is far superior in your case, but cookstoves still oil tops only.I’m sure this is a bad idea but I need to be told why lol —

what is the advantageI always use grape seed oil on my cast iron pans.
It is considered the best all around oil for seasoning.what is the advantage
Im almost positive they use Thurmalux. And thats who I order my paint from.Yes, I am not sure what Jotul uses for paint. Maybe Thurmolox? I just know that SB metallic black looks nice on cast iron stoves. We had a Jotul F602 a few years back that the fellow repainted with this paint and it looked great.
