Cast Iron Fireplace and weather
| | |
Posted by duzer 24a (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 08 at 12:08
| we recently picke up a cast iron fireplace (wood stove) and are planning on using it for an outdoor fireplace.
It already has a minimal amount of rust, but we are looking for suggestions on how to make it more weather resistant.
On a iron BBQ we used shortening years back to prevent rust, not sure if that would work here.
Thoughts?
Suggestions?
Cheers,

I know there's a paint for stoves, but I don't know for sure what the cost is. Maybe it's by rustoleum.
You may be able to put some type of protection on it. I would imagine, no matter what, it will rust some. Go to one of the hardware stores and talk to them about it. |

There is a paint but not rustoleam.It is especially for very high heat for wood burning stoves.You can get it at Home DePot.Sand all the rust areas,clean the areas well and paint.It comes in spray and cans to be brushed on.I have used both.
