You can powder coat them NP.

They are cured at 435 degrees.

you have to have taps for all the threaded holes or tape them shut. Plus any mating surfaces should be taped well. Because getting 4 mills of PC off is not fun. And bolts will not fit.

If you have the room just buy an old stove that works for cheap and use it for that.
