Well, my woodburner was starting to look a bit scruffy, so I decided to give it a coat of paint. I used a high temp paint designed for woodstoves, "Meeco's Red Devil 1200° Stove Paint". I planned ahead and painted it a couple months ago, so tonight when I started the first fire of the year, It had had plenty of time to cure. I still got some stink and smoke, but nothing too bad. The problem I'm having is the part where the flue goes into the wall. The flue is obviously much thinner than the cast iron stove, and gets hotter quicker. The paint flaked and peeled off the flue. Has anyone had experience with this, or know of a better paint for woodburners, possibly good to a higher temp?
Thanks,
Chris
