First time stove owner here. I got this Lopi Freedom insert from a friend of mine. He was happy to have me take it off his hands.It was left outside for a couple of years and rusted up pretty badly. The fan motor screens and the brass ash shelf trim was crushed in. It was missing one door pin and half of the firebbrick was broken or gone. A lot of wirebrushing and sanding, several coats of paint, some fine hammer work and a stop at TSC for firebick and she's almost ready to go. I also orderd in a door glass with an elk etched into it.Unfortunatley I didn't take any pictures of the "before" condition but here's what it looks like now.
