How to Remove Rust From Cast Iron Wood Stove and Refinish

[@evo9467]

I love this one!!! You just saved me dozens of hours and hundreds of dollars of masks and brass brush wheels. This is the way to go. Thank you!!!

[@indiancreek1570]

I have same stove for 8 yrs now, use it every year an love it, there's nothing better than wood heat, I burn hedge, locust , no problems, my pipes go straight up an into 8"at ceiling an up, I added a second damper about 3' higher than the original one cause it draws strong, I cook on it all the time an works great, good video thanks

[@thomashall9792]

I treated the cast iron trim on my soapstone stove; holy cow what a difference:). Cannot thank you enough for the tip. I was thinking of using high temp paint. Glad I found your tip:)👍

[@stevenfairless4931]

I used olive oil ... smells like pizza when you burn it in 😁 mine turned a nice even brown. Now I oil it up after the last fire and let it sit till next season

[@LindaLeeHuckins]

Thanks so much. I am cleaning my grandfather's stove he used on a one room school house in VA.

[@TimFatchen]

Cool! It's our old stove! we had one of these (different name, exact same design and dimensions) from 1980 through 2007 when we left our old house. Did a great job! Especially the ability to take longer logs. And so easy to light! Loved it! (but we just used pot belly paint from time to time, never got rusty to speak of.)

[@TeamTopKick]

Seasoning it like a pan. How many coats did you do? Did you wipe it off when stove heated up?

[@charlesmarek9207]

Only one coat, and I left it on there. No smoke or smell at all.

[@steveion3565]

Best thing to use is stove polish , leaves long lasting lustre and no greasy residue or grease smell . Don't use WD40 can stain and terrible smell .

[@christopherf9700]

I just found the same stove on the road side for free a couple days ago, mine has a lot more rust but its worth the work

[@angjackson5984]

I use bacon grease, it does smoke at first but after the first burn it’s great and jet black.

[@ellorareeves5336]

Thanks for this comment. I don't have any other oil than bacon grease right now and I was wondering if I could use that! Im gonna do it:)

[@agnes2021927]

Three months ago we sadly had an horrendous water problem in our bathroom which caused our house to be almost completed flooded. Industrial dehumidifiers were brought in and stayed with us for a good 2 months. Sadly we haven’t used our stove or living room since. Last night as the temperature has dropped we decided to use our stove and to our horrid is was covered in Mould and rust. Was this due to our flooding? The wetness? The dampness? The dehumidifiers?

[@justinbart37]

Does the oil smoke off when the stove is lit?

[@dennym1172]

yes

[@jakeblanche1195]

Can you paint after seasoning?

[@MrTitanscout]

There are different types of scotch-brite pad. What stock number are you using? Is it the Scotch-Brite™ 7447 PRO Hand Pad?

[@charlesmarek9207]

The 3M 7447 is exactly what I use. Thanks for watching.

[@eye80west]

Thanks for the video. Question: what are the circle things on top called? I bought a used stove that is missing one of the circle covers on top. I googled and searched but came up empty.

[@120man]

I think you are referring to the stove lid. Should be able to find those. Good luck.

[@mike121121]

I think you remove them and put a pot there to cook. I might be wrong though lol

[@ThatOneGuyWithTheEye]

Thanks a lot. You are the first vid I found that's to the point.

[@corystuart1959]

Thanks for the idea! Worked great. And to think I almost used paint. Thanks again!

[@charlesmarek9207]

Cory Stuart glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

[@woody844]

I’ve always used vegetable oil on my cast iron skillets. I just put a second coat of black stove polish on my wood stove along with some vegetable oil.

[@philknight4450]

did it smoke out your place when you started the fire?

[@charlesmarek9207]

Not at all, and unfortunately it didn't even smell like French fries LOL! It has taken on a nice dark color, and we have gone through two cords of wood so far. I will post an update video soon.

[@newwavepressure6478]

Did u try it and did it smoke i think i wanna try it

[@sizemok1]

Mine is smoking now. Has really stunk up the house. Went and wiped it back down. Maybe fire up outside first which I don't plan to move a heavy wood stove outside Will not use this again...

[@pauly51]

Do you know the model of this stove?

[@paulrevere4326]

What do you think about a WD40 spray down and then scotch bright pad?

[@charlesmarek9207]

Paul Revere I think WD would work just as well. Anything would be better than paint.

[@jameslunetta8271]

I tried this on mine, but the oil NEVER dried, it always got your hands all black whenever you touched it. I found Vinegar to work better, which is a longer process but keeps your hands clean. I also heard sanding it down works, although I've never tried that, yet.

[@flyobdab7746]

How often should you repeat this process?

[@120man]

As often as it takes to keep it looking good. I do mine e very fall before it gets cold. Still use the stove, and it looks good. Thanks for watching!

[@72pinebarron]

Thanks for this. Smart and simple. Let’s goooooo

[@melissacomer8404]

I just used bacon grease on mine tonight. For some reason my puppies would not leave me alone. I have cast iron skillets that are used on a regular basis. Eggs do not stick in mine. I'll heat up the stove outside and it'll be good to go. It just got replaced with a slightly bigger model and I will find a good for this smaller model.

[@120man]

melissa comer I have been thinking about a larger stove, or possibly a pellet stove. This is in my garage, and it has been great, but I could use more heat. Thanks for watching!

[@syclone0252]

so did it work, i know stoves get hot, and I have seasoned my cast iron skillets on my grill before and it got to hot once and burned the vegetable oil off completely.

[@charlesmarek9207]

syclone0252 it's worked fine. I will post a video soon, be sure to subscribe.

[@barnabyaprobert5159]

Volume?

[@scottleppard288]

This method will not work with restoration. Like putting WD-40 on the scratch on your car just before you sell it, temp hide. Any high heat paint or enamel will not bond. Good advice from a NH Native, Live, Freeze and Die.

[@sheilamcnamara2223]

What do you recommend for restoration, I have a military canon 20 that’s very rusty

[@trevorbyron1727]

Can't find the follow up video....

[@flanmaryj]

I have a stove like this! Thanks for the video!

[@charlesmarek9207]

Thanks for watching! How do you like yours?

[@mistytackett6563]

Have the same stove it eats wood like CRAZY if anyone knows how to slow down the burn please help

[@charlesmarek9207]

Misty Tackett there are definitely better stoves available than this model. I use this in my garage, and only heat it occasionally in the winter. A lot of effort required to have a wood stove, between cutting and splitting the wood. I have tried a few things in an effort to slow the wood consumption, without any favorable results. A pellet stove seems to be a better option, but they are pricey. Thanks for your comment!

[@barnabyaprobert5159]

You have to try and make it as airtight as possible. With cheaper stoves that means sealing every joint. That's ugly so try and do all the sealing INSIDE the firebox. The air is to get it so that the ONLY air getting into the firebox is through the designed vent. Best of luck.

[@Idk-vs6ki]

Did you do a video after you heated it up?

[@charlesmarek9207]

I have not done a video of the stove after using it, simple laziness I guess. Subscribe, and I will be sure to update soon. it has actually stayed pretty nice.

[@pitbullman77]

Besy video every Thaks I am restoring 3 of them

[@larryduvall5971]

I was thinking spray Pam? Has anyone tried that?

[@pavman1000]

Hope you are still living? That will smoke like hell when you burn it.....a fine sandpaper and some hi temp paint dude!

[@charlesmarek9207]

pavman1000 didn't smoke at all, I was impressed.

[@marclang7431]

It will smoke as it cures but then it will be fine. It's the same procedure for cast iron pans. I put linseed oil on my stove ever year, works well and is nicer than stove paint.

[@carleethaholloman5336]

Researching restoration of cast iron skillet stoves can't fin need help

[@fhagerber4079]

The sound is not of the best

[@tibetantreasureshihtzu6386]

can't hear a word.....

[@paulplumb2716]

Must smoke

[@blakedesjardins8119]

good way to burn your house down lol
