Time to stoke up that fire and let her burn.

You will need to do this out in the open in order to burn off any left over paint or galvanizing that might be on your ducting.

As you can see when the galvanizing burns off it is like a white powder. Once you give it a good burn you can lightly sand the pipe and tool box and paint it with high heat resistant paint if you wish.

Also if your tool box comes with a plastic handle you might want to remove it and replace it with a fabricated steel rod handle.

Fortunately my plastic handle is somewhat heat resistant and has a metal centre.

Enjoy your stove.
