Cast Iron in its Native Habitat: Refinishing the Stovetop

[@ljjackson7106]

Mudbrooker you could certainly do voiceovers with that voice of yours but in the meantime, I'm loving your videos and information! Thank you so much!

[@TheMudbrooker]

You're welcome.

[@8BitAtari]

I remember my Ukrainian grandmother using a similar cooktop.❤

[@kimeverhart6253]

Your stovetop looks much nicer! Great job!

[@TheMudbrooker]

I'm sure it'll take a bit more experimenting.

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

I think you're on the right track. Have to be careful with chemical coatings bc of fumes, etc.

[@TheMudbrooker]

They've switched over to a water based formula for just that reason, the old stove black was solvent based.

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

@@TheMudbrooker The old stuff always works better in many applications...lol ;)

[@tallcedars2310]

I am also unhappy with stove polish, look forward to seeing what you are using here!

[@TheMudbrooker]

I'll keep you posted as I use it more.

[@simonmanifold3005]

I have been using the drippings from my pellet smoker. They collect in the drip can and I smear it on my parlor stove. It’s working well like seasoning.

[@simonmanifold3005]

But my parlor stove is outside

[@jamesowens2781]

Can you spell your polish? Moving my old wood cook stove out soon to clean it.

[@tallcedars2310]

@@jamesowens2781 It was Imperiial Stove Polish Paste with Low Odor,. It did give a nice finish but also didn't last long, hope that helps.

If you want some home made range blackening take one part beeswax, one part soot and four parts of boiled linseed oil. Heat all the ingredients until the wax has melted and let it cool down. Apply on a lukewarm range and let it sit for an hour before polishing it, then lit the range and let is smoke of.

[@TheMudbrooker]

That sounds like it would work, I'll try it come fall.

[@lardo444]

yo, mud man. looks great. clean enough to eat off of.

[@TheMudbrooker]

It's getting there.

[@lisanowakow3688]

That was way cool! Flaming Easy Beezy. Why don’t you try a white vinegar and water spritz to get rid of the rust?

[@marygallagher3428]

Great idea!

[@TheMudbrooker]

Seems to be working so far.

[@tallcedars2310]

Sanding the stove top is something I hadn't thought about but will try. Over the years there's spills that have accumulated and not burned off at the far end of the stove, this will help with that and the rust. Have been using wax paper on the warm stove and quite like it as the top gets slipperier and pots move around easier. Did Easy Beezy do that as well? PS; Neat trick for us fire bugs, lol.

[@TheMudbrooker]

Yeah, the cooler end is good and slick, hopefully I'll be able to get enough built up where it's hottest.

[@debramage739]

Just been beewaxing our new out door table. Yes, Mudbrooker, doesn't it bring out the bettina.

[@TheMudbrooker]

This is looking good so far, we'll see how it does with more use and applications.

[@gumdrop023]

Hi Mudd!

[@TheMudbrooker]

Hi Michelle.

[@troypayne3078]

Temps higher than 600 degrees will burn that seasoning right off

[@TheMudbrooker]

Yeah, it all depends on what sort of residue it leaves behind.

[@catblue6393]

👍

[@terryrobinson1416]

Can't you just use crisco or lard? Don't understand beeswax that melts at such lower temps.
