Its just a Chinese oven Lewis. But don't let that deter you, clean it up and have a go. I like its long legs, you dont see that very often on a Chinese oven.

I put and angle grinder on it today with a wire brush and then put it in a molasses brew that I read about on the forum
Not sure if it's the right thing to do attacking it with a angle grinder wire brush but as you can see it came up pretty good,should I do this with angle grinder?
