Hello
Good find!
I have refinished many pellet stoves.
I vacuum out the ash and then wire wheel it. For the tight rough spots a small grinder such as the Home Depot Husky brand pneumatic right angle die grinder works well
This 1/4 in. Angle Die Grinder with Accessory Kit is designed for the professional user providing more power and less noise. This grinder features a low weight housing and rubberized handle for added user comfort. Each grinder includes an internal spindle run-out for noise reduction.

For the easy access areas I like the small 4.5” harbor freight electric angle grinder with a flap pad.
Amazing deals on this 4-1/2In 5Amp Angle Grinder at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

The spray paint I use for the fire box is VHT flat black 2,000 Deg very high temperature header paint at your local auto supply.
The outside paint, I use the Stove Bright Satin Black 1,400 Deg paint
That’s all

White aluminum oxide (Uniblanc. Condition is New. TM ) is at least99.5% ultra-pure. It sparkles when light hits it and has been used for decorative purposes. Very friable material. Most extensive range of grit sizes.
