Help with heat...and "other"

[Blue_Runner]

Need some help. I am installing a small woodstove in my V21 cuddy for those cold winter days. I would like suggestions on where to mount, where to run the flue and of course, where to stack 1/2 cord of seasoned oak. On top of that, my stripper pole is starting to oxidize (near top) from taking spray and the fact that I haven't had strippers on it in at least a month (I know...). It is 3" stainless. Any help on cleaners/polishes would be appreciated. I am at a loss on these issues. With cold weather approaching I want to get these knocked off my list......fast. Anybody?
