The previous owners of our house left a bottle of this that was about 1/4 full. I used it until it ran out, and it did the trick for harder buildup of creosote, though I'm pretty A-R about keeping the glass clean, inside and out. I'm using Weiman's glass cleaner (the opaque white stuff) on it now because I bought two bottles for my glass induction cooktop and we don't use it that often.

Whatever I use, I always go over the inside thoroughly with a wet paper towel to remove any leftover residue from the cleaner.
I looked up that stove. It's good looking. Are you sure you have creosote? I just get a fine powder that I can wipe off with a damp paper towel. The stove temperatures should not go low enough to deposit creosote? I do have an air wash system on mine though.

Yeah, my bad. I mistakenly used that term. It's just soot. Thanks for pointing that out.
