I have my pellet stove in the basement. Before r got the stove I used a dehumidifier daily. Now that I have the pellet stove do I still need the dehumidifier?
I know, I saw. Lol. You gotta take things one step at a time. Assess your humidity problem and start there, or the rust will continue. I think my suggestion with the dehumidifier may work well. It's certainly the cheapest and easiest way to control the humidity, assuming the moisture is originating from the exterior.The reason I'm asking is because I had my stove for about 3 weeks installed for 1 week and I have rust on my stove
Either that, or actually some 400 grit sandpaper. Might be easier. No need go go nutty with it. Wipe the sanded areas with a cloth towel with a bit of rubbing alcohol, let it dry a min and give it a couple LIGHT coats of stove paint. That's what I would do anyway.Should I take a steel wool pad to the rust then paint it with stove paint?
Good pointI just looked back at your prior posts. That stove is in a finished basement. If you have enough moisture down there to rust a stove that fast you must have a monster mold problem.
