In Alaska we used to buy "Stove Pipe Paint" to paint the stove pipe on
the old wood stove. It was a flat black high temp paint. In winter,
especially in some of the trapper cabins and wherever - one would get
the old wood stove huffing and puffing, and that stove pipe would get
red hot. But that paint would hang on and not burn off.
Dunno what it was made of.
