- I now have all the rust removed & it's time to prep for hi temp paint. I show what paint I use as well as my painting technique. I like this particular brand stove, having recently discovered an old advertisement from March 23, 1978 this stove was called "The chrome 'CROWN' offers on elegance of times past and the front or side loading enables the Double Star Parlor Stove to serve as a closed heat source or blazing fireplace" The ad I found had a regular price for this stove set at $188.48 however it was on sale for $168.48....Wow, today 2013 some people want up to 1k for a rust bucket while others just want it gone from their property....... Back to my story...I do not know everything but what I do know works for me! This video will end with details about this particular stove about everything possible. Then a surprise ending where I actually release custody of the stove because it's to good for the back yard.....................The following paragraph is what I wrote in the ad when I placed this stove up for sale the day I finished the restoration....(it sold the next day)............'begin..
............This wood stove was refinished to go outside on a patio, porch or back yard. After completion it was determined to be in great condition & may be better suited as a stove used in a home, shop, garage or even to be displayed. It is ready to use complete with brand new chimney pipe & damper.
This classic wood stove has been completely gone through, striped to bare metal & finished in stove paint. The fire box was coated in an extreme hi temp finish. It is in excellent condition with new 8' chimney. Has not been fired since the restoration/refurbish job. I cant call it a restoration because the nickle/chrome pieces are not in perfect condition since they were only polished out & show their age somewhat.The only noticeable flaws is some rust pitting on the decorative crown piece (see picture), these could be reworked and re-plated if desired.
A nice piece that is ready to use.
A wood stove or fire place will add to the enjoyment of your home This is a Washington Parlor Stove replica. I'm not sure of it's manufacture date but would guess somewhere from the 60's . Stove is in great working condition, no noticeable cracks or damage.Overall, this is a great looking stove. The only information I could find on this stove comes from a book called The Wood Burning Stove Book by Geri Harrington. It says, "The design of the Washington Parlor Stove is truly antique--in fact, it is still made from the original hand-carved patterns that the Washington Stove Works first used in the last century (1800's). It burns both wood and charcoal and has side and front-loading doors, as well as a removable top. In addition, the top has two removable stove lids for cooking If preferred, this stove can be installed directly on the hearth, within the fireplace by removing the legs or base." I measured the stove at approx. 26" wide by 21" front to back, and 33" from the floor to the top of the stove........'END....Thats it here, I hope I didn't blabber too much & also hope others see how easy it is do this sort of thing. I am going to need to buy a resporater for sure, all that spray paint gave me a headache that day & the taste of grinding rust sucks!!! Hope it was worth your time........................Any questions? Ask away, I check in here often.
Hey bud remember your videos help for generations
I am glad the customer is going to put it inside his house, the stove deserve it, I would not sell it for nothing, look is was more decorated then the blue one, second it had heating plates at the top, which I think the blue one did not have them, way better design! Thank you for the video, I learned about high temperature paint!!!!
You did an awesome job
Thanks for the kind words. It's funny because the day after I finished restoring this old stove I sold it & I didn't mention anything to the new owner about this video (it wasn't edited yet) I wonder if they'll see it, doubt it but maybe. At least they'll see a job well done. Still can't believe it was sold in less then 24 hours. It wasn't cheap either. Thanks again -Mike
I so glad i found your video i have the exact same one in my family home! Now i know how to go about restoring it.
you are so adorable with everything you did doing this stove! Great job and thanks for being so detailed and descriptive about every part of the process you did. Two thumbs up. Can't wait to see your next endeavor!
Great job Mike. Your videos helped me to get ready to refurbish a Parlor Stove I just bought. Keep up the good work. You make videos that are easy to watch.
Thanks, Glad I could help. I like these old stoves, anytime I can buy one for a good price i'm all over it. Lesson learned for me was to wear a dust mask while grinding that old rust. Have fun with your stove.
I did one identical to this one. I used mica stove glass for the "vent" on front door instead of the aluminum foil. That way you can see the fire burning.
Where did you install the mica? On the inside, or outside?

It goes between. You take the outer chrome piece off and it gets sandwiched between it and the cast iron back piece
Very nice, Mike ! You're very easy to listen to...thx
Very impressive. Well done you.
Nice job...
Very nice job! I have exactly the same stove, except the nickel parts (mine are bronze).
I bought it brand new 25 years ago so I know the material of the front door window: It is mica. Yes, MICA !!! Very bright idea, because it is really cheap and fire proof. It is a "rock" material, like a gelatin and transparent. Completely fire-resistant. You can find it in electric spares store, relatively cheap.
Shouldn't you have used a sealant between panel connections? I under stand you wanted to use it outside but you sold it I really hope the person that bought it was aware it was unfinished and more "mocked up".
That is a really beautiful stove! I imagine the glass door restored with a nice fire. 👍
Great job. I am getting one like this and will be restoring it too. Why not put a piece of glass where the aluminum foil is. It would be nice to see the flames
Nice job on the stove and great video. I have an old stove I wanted to paint and now I might actually be happy with the results instead of just spraying it with no prep
Hey Mike .... Thanks for making the video it was very informative .... Great finished product !!
I think you have done one Hell of a job !
Good work ethic !
Congrats !
Have the same stove in pieces. Nice job thanks for the tips
I have this stove and about to put it into service. thanks for the history. How did you deal with the oval flute for pipe? I am going to put gasket lining for a tight seal and purchase a coal grate to burn coal. Yours came out great. I do not have that nifty screen maybe I can make one .
Hi Mike
Well done.
You said that the fire grate was missing, but on a lot of wood burning stoves, there isn't a grate, it just burns on the base plate and coal stoves have a grate for the air needed for coal.
Also you said you would of liked glass in the door, in fact it would of been stove mica sheets in there, the foil was just a quick fix somebody did.
Keep the videos coming.
your front door is supposed to have a special clear plastic behind the chrome frame. I have this exact stove and mine has it. You did a great job on this one.
Well done!!
it looks really good but I really don't see any differance from using steel wool to try to give it a satin finish. it still looks flat to me.
But you did a good job. Tid Bit for you, there is to be a special type of glass in the front door it is called Isingglass.
Good job 😄👍
It actually looks pretty identical to the one my grandparents had in their house - a tad bigger maybe (not a "Made In Taiwan" one tho LOL), except that there was a window in it. I remember that the "chrome" parts weren't that shiny either and that grandpa had taken off the top part for safety reasons (hot stuff swinging around with active kids running around = accidents bound to happen). It was a family piece that had been passed on from generation to generation, starting from the 1800's. But sadly enough, when grandpa died and when grandma sold the house afterwards the stove was left behind, sitting where it had been sitting for half a decade (in that particular house). Such a shame. I wonder if the people who bought the house kept the stove or not. Probably not, because it was a pretty big piece in the living area, it took up a pretty good amount of space from what I recall.
Cheers and job well done, I must say! I hope you were able to make a good profit on it!
Question; Did you make a fire in this before you sold it? It helps cure the paint.
Great job Mike! You (like me) have a little touch of OCD. You clean and paint inside and underneath. Your garage is very neat.
Hi great job...is it possible to add an ash tray??
i did a super duper half ass resto on this same stove .. you did a great job
minus the chrome i have the same stove in my home . Great heat and a beautiful stove
No paint needed on cast iron, use Rutledge Cast Iron Polish, use mica for the window, it is actually a thin stratified stone that is somewhat clear and flexible , you cut it with scissors and it can handle temps to 1500 degrees!
Rutland William's Stove Polish Paste
Good job!
Where did you find the oval to round chimney fitting
Got one exactly like it. Just missing the chrome top piece. Nice job on the restore.
Instead of aluminum foil, I just cut a rectangle of black stove pipe and screwed it to the back of the door. Works great and looks like it's supposed to be like that.
I just found an identical wood stove! Plus, it's for sale! Thinking about buying it for my cottage. Unfortunately, the plated bumper, in front of the lower draft, is missing. Still, it looks really good.
Where did you get b the doorcpins and get the handle off?
Hi From Portugal. I have practically the same stove just with different doors. I was wondering if you put a gasket around the top of your stove also, under the top plate and also on the removable circular pan stands.
It took a total of 3.5 days or maybe 20 hours. It took time to find the right thickness hinge pins to replace the missing one. I the hardest dirtiest part was the grinding, wear a dust mask!!! It was a fun simple project.
In the front door eight panel holes is suppose to be a sheet of mica
, clear to see through
What about the fire bricks and door seals?
Can you use mica glass instead of the aluminum?
Love! Passion! .. wonderful work yuu did.
Maybe too late, but you could fill the inside with a rocket stove bricks and plating system ..
that would help cut down the heat being put out by the stove and then you dont have to worry about the distance you need to use it. Great Idea. You would still get good heat from this stove too.
I hope you charged the new owner for all your meticulous care and time you put into the project.
I trust rustoleum to be a durable quality paint. I have had great results with it for years. VHT is a newer paint in my arsenal. It is for extreme temps. Using VHT in the fire box was an experiment. Order stove bright brand paint for your wood stove. Its a bit pricier but its the standard for painted stoves (from what I have read) Stove bright will most likely be what Im going to use to paint the next stove unless I get lazy and just use rustoleum....
Awesome job!! I recently was given a stove identical to this one (except the front does not have a door on mine). Mine only has the side door, but is missing a door handle. I am looking everywhere for the handle that goes with this stove. Do you have any idea where I'd be able to find that part? Thanks so much!
Hi Mike, just to let you know, that most of those type stoves use MICA for glass. It is transparant and can withstand heat up to 1800 degrees.
Hope that will let you see the flame and keep the smoke in...lol
+Dennis Demers Thanks ;)
Hello, do you think this wood stove can be transformed into a bioethanol stove by inserting a burner inside? thank you
The screen is copper mesh, what was your selling price?
Hey man that is cool. I have the same stove. I'm not sure if it was made in Taiwan. I will check. Just to let you know, I've had this stove for 17 years. I bought the home and it was in the basement. At that time, the front grill that you put in the front door actually had some MICA as the window. The MICA broke and all that is left is the screen.
I didn't see you use any new furnace cement to seal the the castings to each other that are bolted together. That's the stuff that was caking off the edges when you disassembled it. It must leak air terribly. Tell me I'm wrong.
I'm going to restore the original version tomorrow! it surely need to be sealed :)
I think you are, actually, wrong. If you have proper draft, the stove will not send smoke into the room. None of these stoves had caulking back in the late 1800s. I used this stove for about five years and it was really nice. Put mica in the window and that's it. No rope seals necessary.
Great job!
I figured it would of taken me about, 1-2 months to do.(I start things and some times don't get around to finishing them).
Have built some cool furniture in the past, one table I made was from Japanese maple with the top being the top of the shipping container, pretty cool looking. My CD/VHS cabinet still needs a glass door & some trim work to finish.
One of these days..........
Again, great job! (you're very meticulous)(a good thing)

PeaceOut,
James
Amazing video! I commend you for your attention to detail and for filming each step, it came out great! Can't believe how much crud and rust you removed, especially the concrete in the damper. I'm planning on getting one for my backyard and this video is a great help. Thanks!
Браво чувак!
Hey Mike, I just bought a wood cook stove just like this one! Crazy, I was researching how to restore it and came across your video and it is the exact same stove! I am in shock lolol! My husband said I was crazy to buy it, but you just made me feel normal!!! By the way how much did you sell it for???
Its a great stove, I ended up getting another one for my back patio for 200 dollars, the stove shown here took about 50 dollars to restore or so & I sold it for almost 1000 dollars, I may not be exact but it was almost a $700 profit for 20 hours worth of work but It came out too nice for out side use, thanks for watching ;)
What was the diameter of the flue/chimney on this. Did you have to find an oval to round adapter? Sure could use the info. Thanks.
Great Job Mike! I wish you would have kept it for a while and enjoyed some warm fires. I hope you made a nice profit on it. I have a rusted stove that I plan to restore before winter. I would be interested to see how Stove Bright paint compares to Rustoleum.
Good video. I have a question for you. Why did you use the Rust-Oleum Hi temp on the outside and the VHT on the inside? The reason I'm asking is I'm thinking about painting the outside of my stove with VHT but if the Rust Oleum hi temp is just as good I may go with that. Your opinion please.
Hey James, want to know my secret to getting things done? You might laugh but back in 2008 I quit watching T.V. Now I still have a tv & just got one in the garage but I only sometimes watch the news, thats it... No more shows or movies really, just the internet. It sucked at first but I can never go back. My youtube channel reflects that as well. I didn't start making videos until '09 & it was only an accident I make videos today. Not for everyone ...Thanks for the complement & watching -Mike
Great job. I really like your attention to cleaning and prepping for paint. Painting the inside with black VHT great idea I paint the insides as well it protects them. I was amazed when you did the steel wool trick I have been doing that on stove paint and it gives it a neat look. I noticed that you spray the stove which there is nothing wrong with. Personally I prefer to paint them with light coats and a good brush. After firing one and letting the graphite stove paint I use cure I use the finest steel wool and gently buff the cured surface because it blends the black and gives it a neat shine. I can leave one with the steel wool look or go over it with a clear high temperature coating. I just do the same thing to stoves as I do with headers and exhaust manifolds. Did that stove have a Mica window in the door ? Great videos. thank you.
Thanks for the good info. The stove is supposed to have the mica. Im glad you liked the videos ;)
SSW Custom... What graphite paint do you use? Does your paint withstand the temperatures on the inside of the fire box? I am just beginning a project and looking for the best paint.
I just snagged one (about 3 hours ago) that looks like this one. I have not found any markings on it anywhere indicating it's manufacturer. I had to laugh at him (ok, inside....)every time I mentioned what I was going to do to it..."oh no, never paint these. You've gotta use stove black"...."No, no, I'd never take a power tool to remove the rust...Just some steel wool, some soap black, and boom...you're done.... I actually may do it his way...because I want the more time-worn look, as opposed to yours, which looks brand new, from here....)Anyway...here I go! Another project!
+Vickey Burnsed Congratulations, how awesome. Another project but one worth doing. Have fun with it & I agree his way sounds great plus it makes things easier.
Great video! If you ever get another one don't sell it!
Great job! I just have one question? I bought a stove just like this one. Where did you get the oval stove pipe that attaches at the stove? Thanks!
I used regular stove pipe and crushed it into an oval
The woodstove sea. lol Great video. I have the same stove in slightly better condition than what you started with. I'd like to see it fixed up but hours of sanding, I don't know. I plan on heating the garage with it someday.
in a shop I would recommend a 2 barrel drum stove, they will not disappoint !
What is the name of the stove? I'd like to do some research on it
at 7:40 it's some kind of clear plastic windows.ans it's not for sell i think im gona keep it
I couldn't find the derusting video but wanted you to knowmuriatic acid eliminates all rust in metal molecular structure it turns it bulk airbrush loose away and wipe with acid. I may make my first video as I restore the stove I just picked up have not identified it yet has two panels cabin moose scene
Hello Mike,, i have one of these fireplaces .. how much do you think its worth.. mine is in really good condition.. not as good as your finished one.. =) you did a great job i might add.. !
I just paid $500 but will be restoring it.
Mike, how long did it take you to complete this project?
Great job, Mike! What did you end up selling it for?
but this paint resists heat well?
I think the aluminium foil replaced the piece of glass (9.12 min into video). Must have cracked either due to age or heat over time.
was probably supposed to be glass in the front??
Stodoys has a very large project base.
HI Mike, I have the same stove but in the back only says "Taiwan" and I want to sell it!
Never mind ... I have 2 , round oak16 . C Emrich blast furnace 1917 Both need parts .. not fun
roughly how much does it weigh?? thanks
taiwanese stove but handy american hands :)
use refractory cement and brickes inside like the home foundry guys use then you can burn coal to
I have the same stove.
i was able to purchase one of this stove an original one for $125 on craigslist and i love it. i need the oval adapter for it does anyone know where i can get one from?
I have a similar stove and thought I needed an oval adapter, turned out that a standard 6" stove pipe when compressed into an oval fit perfectly.
Does it leak smoke at all the joints?
Not if the chimney damper is properly open.
Do anyone know the name to the wood stove can't find it on mines same one.
Sold by Simpson Sears in the 70's.
I'm curious, what did you end up selling it for?
Kathleen Bailey up above someone asked and he said he sold it for $1000.
yep i was stupid spray painted the chrome lol
must be loads of these made. I found this on Kijiji an hour after watching this restoration.

Nice job Mike.
What kind of a bird do you have ?, if you posted it I missed it
Macaw's, amazon's, african grays, cockatoos, conures.
Good to see that the woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
That paint peels off. I used it never will again. Their paints just don't last
No gaskets operate like shit
All that "crud" and cement looking stuff was seam sealant. And you put none back in when you "restored" the stove. This stove is unsafe to use!! It will leak air at every seam now and make it very hard if not impossible to control air flow to the fire!
Awesome work. Sharing on my fb "Off the Grid" page.
Not really restoration. Painting is hiding.
