Original colour of the WT80 bunker ofen
Original colour of the WT80 bunker ofen
Hello,
I am wondering what the original colour of the WT80 stove was?
The once we find in the bunkers today are all rusty.
I have seen some pictures from restored bunkers and they have a silver finish. Is this correct?

Hello
I think it in most cases would have been in its original "cast iron" colour - black / no painting:

I think both silver and black.

Hello
Yes - also silver - come to mind - that almost any color of any heatresistant paint could be used.
But - yes, silver and black was most common.
I dont know if there was any difference in painting/colour, between the different types of Bunker Ovens?

Re: Original colour of the WT80 bunker ofen
I have a Wt80K and on the bottum, it is still green.
It is still in use today in my cousins garage.
Don't use cole when you want to cook something, only wood.
Kind regards
Tommy

Re: Original colour of the WT80 bunker ofen
Sorry, but the colour is very dark and we just desided that it must have been dark green.
It was found in a 668 in Tversted.
No digital pictures of it.

I have 3 working examples of WT80k stoves at Stp. Corbiere and the original colour was black for sure. I helped recover a mint example from a small shelter and it is now in use in the 634 and the finish on it was a matt black paint which was presumably a type of heat resistant paint. Sadly most of the paint has burnt off now due to it being regularly used
I have tried repainting them with modern heat resistant paint as well as 'black lead' polish but the stuff only lasts one firing up !!

Malcolm

Here is my "goldnugget"
Until the bunker is ready restorated, it is heating the entrance floor of my house.

Not original colour, just rusted, and in some years rusted away.
