    tax credit question, do you claim the FULL cost of the <u>installed</u> stove?

    The way i clean my stove glass!

    I've tried the wet news paper + ash method. Way too messy for me. I'll stick with paper towels and a little cerama-bryte.

    Glass still looks new

    Another vote for Cerama-Bryte. Found in the super market and works well.

    Just curious to know why.

    So at what temp do you start to worry? Metal turning red? Can anyone tell a story of a run-away fire that got to 800F and kept on going? How high...
