Sand it & paint it. I've been playing around with woodstoves.
I tried this one out.
It puts out plenty heat but it won't hold a fire for an extended period of time , too much draft.

+1 on ash in clean out tray. I have had that exact stove in our Ohio hunt camp cabin for the past 14 years. bought used here in Ga. for $25 and until we figured out the ash solution and we added a draft damper on the chimney pipe the guy with the cheapest sleeping bag lost and had to get up in about 4-5 hours and stoke the fire, now it will last about 6-7 hours if box is filled and everything is dampered down.
