Welcome to posting on the forum. Question: Is your stove currently painted or polished with stove polish?

Clean the inside then spray it with fluid film.

Hello,

I always give the Marks Brothers' fireboxes a baking soda rinse each summer. After that's dry I vacuum that residue out and spray the insides with a Rust Preventer I get from the Auto Parts store. The rust preventer burns off with the first fire but it's done it's job in controlling any rust development over the summer.

Probably the best thing you can do to prolong the life of your stove is to make sure you remove all the coal ash you can. Do you know about the baffle or false ceiling in the Mark II? A good amount of ash gathers there and should be removed yearly. To access this area reach up just behind the load door and you will feel a ledge. That'ts the baffle. I stick my vacuum nozzle in there and get as much as I can. Also the gap between the fire box and the stove's back wall gather ash and should be cleared yearly. You get to that through the fan opening.

After all the vacuuming is done I treat any localized spots of exterior rust with sanding and the rust preventer and repaint the stove with Stove Bright paint. This routine has worked well for me. I expect the stove will provide many years of heat beyond it's expected life span. Lisa
