At least in winter we always have a good supply for dishes, baths and such. <br /><br />I have burned quite a few things on the stovetop, but nothing that has stuck like that. When our stovetop got rusty, we gave it a good scrubbing and sanding with a metal wire brush and sandpaper to get it smooth before repainting with high temp stove paint, but I think that is too aggressive for your situation. -- Margy<br /><br />p.s. I think that sock is too far gone to darn.Powell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345935748119975371.post-10693188056697498672014-01-26T15:17:12.385-05:002014-01-26T15:17:12.385-05:00Thanks everyone, I'm happy to say the heat fro...Thanks everyone, I'm happy to say the heat from the stove is burning off the residue...woo hoo!<br /><br />I'll have to check that out dad. Hugs back.<br /><br />I called the company we bought the stove from NCmountainwoman and surprisingly they had no suggestions. I'll check Lowes, thanks.<br /><br />I agree with you Brenda, the only heat we use. As for the socks, well, live and learn!<br /><br />You are funny Marie, I know there are many people who would agree with you!<br /><br />Patti, I haven't burned my pants yet. But I did do a number on my favorite sweatshirt!Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431245561712781037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345935748119975371.post-70734275311859024472014-01-24T18:58:34.646-05:002014-01-24T18:58:34.646-05:00We have no clue as to how to get socks off the woo...We have no clue as to how to get socks off the wood stove.<br /><br />Maybe let the stove get ice cold and it will pop off !
