Just got a Napoleon 1400 and burned a few fires in it, getting some light "fogging" on the bottom corners of the door glass, firebox bricks and baffles are clean, does the fogging mean I'm not burning hot enough?

Kinda what I figured, thanks for the reassurance.
Haven't had much chance to burn it too hot or long as a record breaking heat wave hit Wisconsin this week.

You will have a little ash haze that forms on the inside of the glass. Clean the glass once a day with ammonia-free glass cleaner. If you use ammonia, the haze will slowly become permanent.
Even better just wipe that haze with moist newspaper dipped in ash, or in cases like mine just a moist papertowel takes it off.
Yep. Ash haze. I let my fire go out the other morning (we're having a heat wave), and cleaned the glass. It's good as new now. I used ammonia cleaner, but will refrain in the future because I don't want the haze to be permanent.
Another great tip from hearth.com! Thanks!
