new wood burning stove rusting


Recommended Posts

Hi we've just brought a new tinderbox stove and have had it installed this week. we've used the stove 3 times and yesterday notice a light layer of rust on the top of the stove and also under the door. We've not wiped it down with anything wet or cleaned it at all, our house isn't damp and the clothes are being dried outside. Any ideas why this has happened.

Its iron or steel, they rust. This rust will be just a light surface rust and nothing to worry about. If you get some stove or grate polish that should cure it - it stinks as it dries with the stove on, and you might want to wear disposable gloves too and a disposable cloth else you polish your fingers of course. Polish it every now and then to keep it looking shiny and nice

 

The polish is available in some local stores (mine was in local "Home store" or something like that), and available online, possibly also at Screwfix but not the nations favourite DIY warehouse apparently according to their website
