Stove blacking?

Hello all,

Since Zeebrite became unavailable, water based equivalents have come on the
market - I've got a couple of tins of stuff that you smear on to the stove
and allow to dry - then you start the stove up and it starts to smell
terrible, so you go and stand outside.

When it's safe to go back in again, there is a period of about a day before
the new blacking wears off - the lead based stuff lasted for weeks - so
what's everyone using? A friend is just using high temp exhaust paint -
wondering how long this might last.

In our case I do it twice a year, but it still smokes somewhat when first
lighting after painting

If that is true then there is another item to buy when nipping over to
the Frog supermarket. Yesterday I bought a Dragon in Cardiff and then
when I got home, stuck the thing in the passenger seat of the wife's
car. It went down very well. Highly appropriate present.
