Getting a stronger air wash will help keep the glass cleaner, if the stove is truly starving for air then fixing the plate issue should help the glass issue.

On the install manual on pg 22 it shows the outside air breakdown chart, make sure yours is setup correctly.
Hi all,
I got another query on a threat in another place here, so thought I would share here what I'm going to write to him.
The bottom line is that this stove doesn't get enough air. The fire has to be hot hot hot to be okay, and so I have to start it up with the door cracked a little bit. Even with that, the glass will become dirty by the end of the burn. And I know that everyone says I didn't have seasoned wood, but I'm burning wood in there that's 3 years old right now and I'm seeing the same thing. I will admit, though, that my fooling around with coddling it at the start has helped a lot. I've gotten to know the stove and we're becoming friends. However, I like a really clean glass, and so I usually wipe if off with Rutland's Conditioning Glass Cleaner as I'm starting the fire. Love that stuff, and it works like a charm. Not messy, easy, nice.
Best,
Mary
