Rants and Raves from Southeastern Wyoming...where the deer and the antelope really DO play...
Kent Tile Fire Project
Lisa and I found this stove on Craigslist. It was rusty, but everything but the tiles were there, including a working blower motor (well, it worked once we removed the bird's nest from the motor housing). The enamel is in pretty good shape, with just a few chips.
We'll get the heavy pieces sand-blasted, then re-coat them. Then, we'll finish rust removal from the stove body, and assemble the stove on the new pad.
This will look similar to this:
When we're finished...
Got the enamel pieces all cleaned up. Will patch the chips 2 chips w/ black porcelain repair.
Back has been prepped for painting...using stove spray paint...
...finished...
Update 10/2011:
The stove has been completely re-assembled, and is burning beautifully. The base was sand-blasted by the good folks out at Palomino Industries. If you need sand-blasting done in the Cheyenne area, go there. They took great care of me.
The Finished Product
