I have a Jotul insert circa 1987. Just wondering, how do I determine what type of glass is used for the windows?
I do find that when I open the door I feel allot more radiant heat, so the glass seems to be blocking quite a bit of it. I am also aware that special ceramic glasses are better than tempered glass at transmitting the infrared heat rays.
How do I determine what type of glass/ceramic is in my system? The unit is way beyond the customer support window of what Jotul USA has defined, which is, according to them, 10 years (some tie in with one of those ISOXXXX registrations I was told) so I doubt that they would help.
If I did change the glass and it was a better transmitter, could it impact the system negatively in some way?
Can the proper glass really make a difference overall?
Any thoughts welcome.
