This is an Old Mill wood stove from 1986 or so. I dug it out of my dads garage and began restoring it to install this year for my primary heating source. I started by using wire brushes, but quickly realized sandblasting was the way to go. Did a test burn to bake the paint and check my gasket replacement. All looks good, can't wait to finish the chimney and install. I have the option to go through the roof or through the wall with the chimney. Through the roof is a lot more complicated due to electrical work, and a 24" on center rafter setup. It is also tongue and groove pine which would require quite a bit of removal in the event of trying to brace for the chimney support box. Any thoughts?
