Nothing goes in my stove that's 15% or over on the MM. I still get nasty glass. But I do have an older stove. From time to time if it gets smokey in the firebox I can see the airwash pattern in the smoke, and no, not the most effective in the world. You're doin' good Stan, get those cats in there and I think you'll be happy.

In my old VC Resolute, when the glass gets smoked up, I commando clean it:
A little newspaper in H20, then get a little ash from inside the stove or from the stove bucket. Scrub. Wipe clean, throw paper in stove.

My High valley cat stove will not turn black on glass unless a wetter piece is place really close, like within inches, of the glass. The lower corners will kid of darken on low cruise with semi dry wood. I have no problem with clear glass on mine. Most will wipe off with a paper towel when i go to reload, the rest i can get to burn off. My glass stays srystal clear!!

Other than that I love the 12 to 14 hour load with the 4.3cu ft cat firebox
What gets burnt on mine will not burn off with 2000 degree catalyst temps....go figure..
Razor blade works wonders.....

10 fer on the razor blade scrapers!
Im thinking the same thing! i can get 12-14 hours of heat out of my 3.4 cuft firbox cat stove.
my stove always has some black on the glass. i used to keep it clean, now I dont care much... never been able to burn it off, doesnt matter how dry the wood is. Seems to be the nature of the stove.
