    Hello
    Some people paint their car headers to protect them and give the engine a snazzy look.
    So how about painting the pellet stove exhaust housing for a hi performance look?
    Has anyone tried this?
    Travis and other manufacturers paint their exhaust housing's a shinny black.
    How about Flat Aluminum Very High Temp 2,000 degree auto header paint and 3 coats of high temp clear so your stove looks as good as it works? Especially with an upgraded high current exhaust blower. Also keeps it from rusting and new looking. :)

    Some shiny new nuts would look good on

    Agree, I just did not have any.
    Are the large nuts 1/4 X 20 ???

    10/4 on some shiny new nuts.

    Take the large nut and try a 1/4 inch bolt in it to verify the threads


    Hard to tell in a piccy.

    Most of the stuff on the motors are 10/32

    If a 7/16 socket fits the large nuts then they are 1/4 inch
