kayakthecoast Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Anyone removed a wedge wood stove/oven? I want to remove the rear flange that has the airflow vent in it. I have the 4 burner top and oven combo. Do I need to remove the entire unit? All I really want is to remove the rear top flange. See my pic, the last stainless part in the rear of photo. Why? I scored a few used parts today! See second pic! My stove top will look brand new when I'm done. I need to add 2 small bolts to add the new stove cover under the rear flange, and I want to sand a polish my existing stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wapiti Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Just removed mine to clean out a mouse house. Two screws were holding in the whole thing, screwed into the countertop. Disconnect gas line and it slides right out the front. The vent you want to remove is held in with some sheet metal screws on the underside. I have mine disassembled for cleaning and paint. Easily can take pics of anything if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayakthecoast Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks wapiti. Looks like mine has 6 screws, four on top, and the oven door has a few too? What paint are you using? High heat? I'm a kiwi, wapiti are nz Elk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaChinook Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think it's also the Native American name for them here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wapiti Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Cool little info on introduction of Elk into NZ http://www.elkarama.co.nz/history.html I guess in NZ wapiti refers to crossbreed / Elk refer to pure breed, Natives in North American language Wapiti translate to White Rump or Elk will paint only cook top and trim high heat, front is stainless & nice. color no clue, worried about the metal inserts for the stove top scratching the crap outta any paint job under them. ideas always help !

kayakthecoast Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'll be painting my trim with high heat black, and my stainless oven door is rusty so I'll paint that too. I think it will contrast well with the almond top and cover I got at a used rv store. Nice article on wapiti, my uncle in the early 80's did live deer extraction with a net gun flying low in a helicopter, and would tie trophy deers legs together and hoist away live back to a fenced big game farm! Pretty lucrative business for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanman Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If you want flat black the metal etching paint is awesome, better heat transfer and tough to boot. Some places call it raditator paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayakthecoast Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Looks like a new stove!! All my rusty stainless steel I sanded and sprayed with high heat semi gloss black $7 bucks at lowes. And with my almond stove top and folding cover, it's a good quick fix. For those of you in WA State I found a great used parts rv store: West Coast RV Recycling and sales. Basically a used rv parts what're house!! 1103 west Reynolds ave Centralia wa 98531 360-669-0346 Nice guy running it. Tons of windows, ladders, stoves, lots of small parts handles, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
