Hello again.
Apologies for being right off topic here. I am in the middle of purchasing a second hand Stanley slow combustion wood stove. The stove is in Coburg Melbourne and I am in Bunbury WA. I am looking for a professional or otherwise in Melbourne that could inspect the stove and tell the difference between an original vitreous enamel finish and an after market paint repair before I pay the $800 freight to WA.
The vitreous enamel is the only finish that can stand the 800 + deg heat. If any of you could suggest such a person that would be appreciated. I have approached Pivot's and another heater/ stove company in Melbourne with out success. Thanks Greg
