So I am new to the wood burning world, but my girlfriend and I just bought a wood furnace add on to help with heating cost this(and in the future of course) winter. The stove is in very good shape but has a bit of surface rust. on the core. Looks like previous owner had some water coming down his chimney that made its way into the top of the unit.
Before I install it I would like to get it into tip top shape. I was going to wire brush it all down and spray it with "high heat" spray paint. Do you all think this is neccisary? The paint is rated to 1200 deg. F. I am thinking that is good, but am too new to know better, if its not. I just want to make sure that I take care of the unit the best I can. What do you all think? Thanks for any advise and all the good reading so far.
