Broke my glass

[ksks]

On my Blaze King -King Ultra.

With shipping the glass and seal is $230. Does that sound right?

Does anyone have a place to buy other than the dealer?

Thanks.

Just wondering - how did you break it? I am paranoid about that happening to my new stove

Thanks. Looks like about 1/2 of what they charged.

The traditional way is by using it as a loghammer.

Remember to order gasket with the glass!

To be fair, it's a method that works well, except for the last time.

Some stove manufacturers (Like Woodstock) put an IR coating on their glass.
Just something to be aware of.

Now you got me thinking.

I could just order a spare door, gasket in a big sheet of steel instead of glass, and swap it in to be a loghammer any time I need one....

Why buy glass? It costs money. Just use a piece of sheet steel cut to the size, that you can probably find for $1 or so in your local metal scrap yard, plus a few bucks for cutting

Might even make the bk look nicer

I cannot imagine my Jøtul F500 without a glass front... nope, i'd spend the dough for replacement glass in a heartbeat.

Ah, yes, Dix. Broken glass on a PE, June 2019. Never did directly answered the loghammer question. The Stove Police DA declined to press stove charges, but the question remains....

Oddly, I was closing the door and noticed it was a little tight against some wood. It closed to the latch. When I pushed the latch down to secured it, the glass cracked. It must have just been at that fraction of an inch to push it over the edge.

So, to some of you, thanks for the help.
To the rest of you clowns, lol.

What did you do after bit broke. I’ve loaded up and had luckily the last top log tapping the glass, so I was able to get it out. Wondering if you loaded up, had door open a bit to get it going, then closed door and it broke. Yikes. Then what!! I guess if just cracked maybe it would be okay. I’d be afraid it would run away.

I limped along when mine cracked,

It cracked when I pushed the handle down to fasten the door. So, it was very little movement. When it cracked there is a vertical line about a third of the way over from the left. It's just a crack big enough to slip paper in. I've been running it since. Luckily it's been the warmer months so I have not been running it full bore. I haven't really noticed any problems. I can still choke it down.
