Here are some disjointed notes I have collected from other websites regarding painting a winter camp stove. I plan to paint my stove before next season.
I used a Scotchbrite pad quickly over all surfaces...think it did better than scraping or sanding...wiped it down w something too, but no memory of if it was turpentine, paint thinner, etc... then I painted.
I went over the stove with some steel wool and spray painted it with Rustoleum Hi Temp BBQue flat black spray paint.

Remove oil, graphite, or other burned-on substances from the surface of the stove. Put on eye protection and gloves. Use a clean, white rag and pour a small amount of tri sodium phosphate onto the
surface to be cleaned. Scrub the surface with the rag to remove all dirt, or use a wire brush for heavier debris. Wipe the surface with another clean rag.
Remove excess oil. Use a lacquer thinner instead of tri sodium phosphate for very oily stove surfaces. Apply with a clean, white rag and scrub the surface. Use another clean, white rag to wipe it down.
Remove stubborn, chipped paint. Use medium-grit sandpaper on areas of the stove that have paint bubbles or stubborn chipped paint that can't be removed with the rag. Lightly sand the stove until it is as smooth to the touch as possible.

Thanks for both of the replies. OldFingers57, what did you use to clean the metal?

Well the stoves had been used before so this was a repaint job, not an original. So we just used a steel brush to get all of the loose paint off really well and then some sandpaper for metal. Plus ruffing it up seemed to help the paint adhere better.

Fleet farm has high temp paint in their wood stove section. I have used it on my wood burning insert at home, and it works great. Sorry, couldn't find a link.

I used to use the high temp stove paint from Menards on my grill and we used to use it on our wood stoves at the Boy Scout camp where I worked at. It held up well, just make sure you get it really cleaned off well for it to stick well.

Anyone have a recommendation for wood stove paint? Specific products and methodologies that have worked would be appreciated. Getting tired of battling rust.
