Build up prevention?

[toofdoc]

Hi all,

I've seen this posted a few times with no clear answer. How do you prevent build up in the lower corners of your glass? I have a Regency CI2600. Its always a bit worse when i dampen it down pretty low for long burns, but still present with I have the dampener more open. Its fairly easy to clean, but would be nice to prevent. This is my first season with this unit and still trying to lean it.

Thanks,

Josh

If you are burning dry wood - verified Moisture Content less than 20% - You are probably going to have to live with it.
Nature of the beast. Burning wide open should remove almost all of it, tho.

Check your door gasket with dollar bill test to make sure your getting a good seal.

I assume this means sticking dollar bill between the gasket, close it, and see if it holds?

I also tried to burn off the build up last night, ran it full open for 2 hours, didn't do much. I then turned it down for a longer burn and the build up is even worse. If my gasket checks out then I think i need harder wood. I'm burning Pinion, not so hard.
