Actually that leads to my next question, I am looking at stove bright paint, I was going to order black metallic, but I saw there was a charcoal metallic, any experiences out there with these colors

I used stove bright charcoal for my 602 and I love it cause it looks exactly like bare cast iron which was the look I was going for.
There is a baffle over the inside door that needs to be removed to see the date, I'll need to do this cause I'm curious.

I need help with a hearth pad build I have some questions about a few different ideas I have for it. I want to use a wood frame with cement boards but no tile, what would be my other options to cover the cement board
I've looked around and I can't see how you start a new thread. Can someone tell me how to start a thread
I started it for you yesterday and an email was sent to you linking to it.

We'll, I still have a can with a little left. And I can't imagine it taking 2 cans, so I'm saying 1 can should do it.
So I brought the stove in the house and put in in the hearth, not sure if I like the look. I am considering cutting the legs and have been reading posts on this forum all day on it.
Not worried about lower clearance it is in a basement masonry fireplace with a tile floor. I am re building the mantle and I think the stove looks to close to it. The manual calls for 19 from the rear exit to the top combustibles. I bought the stove for 180 so I am not worried about cutting the legs 2 or 3 inches..
Also there was firebrick in the inside of this 602

No firebrick necessary, just a thin layer of sand I believe is recommended. Besides, you'll need all the space you can get.
Also, the legs flare out at the bottom, I'm not sure cutting them would be possible.

My father had a 602 back in the mid 70's. Great little stoves but IIRC they had a tendency to crack the side plates.
Almost done with my project... I am going to put the liner and block off plate in the fall

Side parts of the mantel look far enough away to not be an issue. It's above the stove that looks like it needs shielding.
I am below the 19" that is in the 602 manual, but I think a heat shield will help , and possibly aid in convection
See what you think. The 602 can get plenty hot on top. If you find the underside of the mantel ledge is getting too hot, a discrete plate on 1" spacers on the underside of the mantel will help.
