Did I discover a new way to clean stove glass?

Haha, no way on just one load. I've gone through about 1/2 a cord so far. It's about on par, burned about 3 cords total last year from mid-Sept to mid-March

So long as you don't find 50 degrees comfortable for your home, or supplement your heat, I am DAMN jealous of your home's insulation.

I think I'd need five stoves if this house was located in Alaska.


Maybe six.

WD-40 + Wait 5 Minutes + Razor Blade + Windex = Too many steps, time, and effort for me.

I don't think it's ever taken me longer than a minute to clean off the glass.
Ya, but you don't have a blaze King. I used to just give a quick wipe, but not now. It's a small price to pay for 30 hour burns. :coolsmirk:


The build up on the glass get's that bad? I've seen photos, just assumed it was a thin layer.
It's kinda bad this time of year, I still don't need to use a razor blade, but it takes a bit to get it clean.

Guys, it is still November, and already with the Smoulder King stories? Will you save it til January? :ahhh:
 
Damp newspaper.

Damp newspaper dipped in ash . . . if things are black (sometimes happens in a corner or if a split rolls up against the glass.)

Just fire it up good and hot the next time around and watch the brown/black disappear like magic.



Yeah . . . I'm all about being cheap and lazy . . . using damp newspaper or just burning a hot fire the next time is about as cheap and lazy as you can get.
