dggreen said:is simple green a good cleaner for dirty stove glass? i just installed a castine; been burnin straight for the last week or so and the glass is dirty.
also, i have been shutting the stove down before bed round 10 and up at 6. there are coals at that point which is great but my concern is that the stove is prob running around 200-300 degrees for a fair portion of the night which could be causing some creosote issues.
thoughts on how to ensure that this doesn't become a problem? thanks!

No matter how hot the stove gets, it's eventually going to cool down and when it cools down, isn't the glass going to darken? I just don't let my burning revolve around keeping the glass clean but, I will admit, our stove is in the main room of the house and we spend most of our evening time in another room watching TV. I guess if we sat and watched the stove all night I'd be a little more worried about the glass getting dirty. But I still don't think I'd let clean glass be the driving factor in my burning regimen. I clean the glass when I empty the ashes.
