A couple of years ago, I replaced my wood-stove when a big crack developed in it. The new one (Lopi 1250) is much more efficient and has a glass door on it.
Most nights I damper it down and in the morning my door is sooty.
I think the glass door is supposed to be self-cleaning and some of the soot does burn off with a hot fire, but I still prefer to clean it because it looks better and it doesn’t take long at all.
So most mornings now, I open the door and put in the screen while the glass cools. Once its cool I scrub the glass with wood ash and a wet paper towel and wash clean with vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Doesn’t take long and does a great job.
Oh my god…crow is posting again!!!!!!!!!
