Hi, I’m new to the group and am looking for some feedback/advice. I have a Radiant Homestead 216 Parlor stove. It has been in our shop for many years as the previous owner used it as his heat source. We have built a fully enclosed outdoor entertainment room and are putting the stove in there. The stove must have gotten wet at some point because it has some rust, we have removed the rust the best we can. The stove is all one color, black. My questions for you experts are: would you paint it or how would you preserve it from rusting further?
Thank you in advance.

P, welcome to the forum--I'm thinkin Rustoleum makes a high temp paint which has been used with good results. Can you post a pix of the stove? Just ask someone will help.

The general practice is to paint steel and use stove polish on cast iron.

I believe the rust is from use and summertime moisture. Will you be using it or looking at it?

We plan on using her if we can figure something out at the base where the pipe goes. Looks like it was a movable part.

Any high temperatures heat paint. Spray on bar-b-q grill paint, Stove Brite "charcoal color" spray on. Rustoelum brand spray.

Brush on, Imperial or Rutland or Mecco "red devil" stove paint.

Polishes, like car wax. William's in the yellow tube, Rutland black tube. Imperial polish in a Vicksburg vapor rub jar.

Pic #2 is missing the small sliding door with holes. Called a check damper. Need that for stove to work correctly. Stuff aluminum foil in holes for now. Google antique stove restoration shops, call them, see if they gots a check damper for Radiant Home 216.

Might be able to use a piece of tin for sliding door, if you kind of handy at making stuff. Old coffee can?

Thank you mntbugy for the great info on the check damper. My brother is a pretty handy blacksmith so if I can’t find the part he may be able to make something.
Thanks again!

I’ve had very good results with the rust oleum high temp grill paint. In the past I’ve used the rutland stove polish and it looks nice too but doesn’t last like the high temp paint will. The polish in my opinion gives a much more original luster of clean metal shine but the problem is the heat burns it off or over time the moisture will eventually cause the surface rust to set in.
Good looking stove, best of luck to you.

Paint don't last. It turns white too. Then you touch it up, looks worse after than before. Polish bring back to day one.

I agree with that, kinda, but not completely. In the hot spots the high temp paint will discolor. I’ve never experienced white but a shade of grey, yes. Personally I touch my shop stove up every spring and it looks good as new. As far as the brush on polish rutland brand, it will look beautiful when finished no argument there but I’d recommend stocking up on extra elbow grease and a lot of spare time will be beneficial too.

Spray paint looks the worst on touch ups.

Brush on paint, rub on polish is one or two little spots. Won't have that problem with a big enough stove or 25 to choose from.
