Wood Burning Stove Restoration - Metal Rescue

Our wood parlor is coming along and in this video we show a little love to the namesake wood burning stove. I think the gel did the trick but take a look for yourself and let us know what you think.

Very nice. I brought a used woodstove home today, a Martin Stove and Range Co King 632 box stove. I like your process and am going to do the same with mine.

Nice job! Inspiring me to restore an old parlor wood/coal stove I have.

I love a good wood stove. My wife and I have been heating with the woodstove for 42 years. We love it. One thing about it you can’t back up to a heat pump.🤣

I just metal brush the rust off and cover mine with Stove Black. Easy…toothbrush for the more patterned areas and then buff with a cloth. Done

Now get some Stove Polish Paste by Imperial . . . Adds a touch of class to all of your hard work 😊

[@ntt1654]

Just use old-fashioned stove polish over the rust. That's what it was designed for. Once the polish has dried just use an old towel slightly damp to bring up a high shine touch up yearly . all the polish is ,is carbon black(soot) and sterric acid (paraffin wax)

Any updates on the parlor? I have a garage with terrible concrete slab I am thinking of building a floating sleeper floor like yours in but using stone gravel to level things out. How has the floor held up over time? Did you ever consider insulating it? Im in the midwest so that is a goal.

Looking good man!

You need a bottom grate for that stove. Can probably find one that will fit at tractor supply

Old lady here (sunny side of 80). Long story somewhat short: My beloved Royal Windsor that I relied on for many years, was open to the elements after my husband passed away. Now I’m trying to clean it up and restore it as much as I’m able. I find it’s missing the smallest burner on the 3 ring eye. The nickel portions have a great deal of rust and I don’t know how to deal with that. Those parts need to be sanded to bare metal, I can do that. Then they need another layer of nickel applied. That’s where I’m lost. Unfortunately, some enamel has been chipped, but I have to settle for cleaning and polishing and living with that. I’m quite capable of restoring the stove top surface. How do I go about the nickel portions of the stove, and where would I find the small burner eye, please? Needless to say, I’m on Social Security, so just can’t hire someone to restore this old friend to her former glory.

Imperial stove polish works great if it was not painted before.

That’s one beautiful stove.

[@grendel_nz]

Why not just brush the worst of the rust off and then re-black it w lots of good elbow grease ;)

[@garrisverepji8558]

А где рестоврация то ??? Водой из шланга помыл и всё?

[@carmenslee6234]

Or woodfire

[@tacey01]

Did you oaint it?

[@Goodcleanfunlife]

yes with high temperature black paint

[@tacey01]

@@Goodcleanfunlife I have heard that the stove polish is good stuff also. That brand of stove made a coal stove that was considered among the finest made.

MY GRADMOTHER WOULD WIPE HER WOOD RANGE DOWN WITH WAX PAPER WHEN THE FIRE DIED DOWN A LITTLE BIT . GOOD WORK ON A NICE OLD HEATER !

[@JD-ce4so]

Unfortunately that’s not a restoration. Strip, blast, smooth areas of the metal castings, paint with correct paint and nickel other parts, replace the cement and gaskets.

[@kirkstinson7316]

Paint?? That's NOT a restoration! The antique stoves were never painted. They polished them with stove black. That's a paste you can still buy at hardware stores
