    Anyone know how to treat the outside of a cast iron chimenea against rusting?

    The rust on cast iron adds to the charchter and is a very slow corosion process unlike steel, normally cast iron would be left unntreated.

    If you do want to paint it then use a spray on BBQ paint, or similar with heat resistance.
