Beyond frustrated 
But I mean, I can't go more than like 1-2 weeks with a properly functioning stove, so here I am.
Had the glass gasket replaced last week, and when it was being put back on, I told my boyfriend that it was hand tighten only, and he kept cranking on it. Even after I told him twice. Clearly, I am the one who figures out the pellet stove problems, what needs to be done to fix them, order the parts & then tell him how to fix them... he just turns the wrenches. Anyway... it didn't crack. After 3 days, I noticed a little line that wasn't collected soot on the glass, it kinda looked like a water drop had gone down it? I didn't think too much of it. Cleaned, started up again. 3 days later, glass kinda doesn't look right as far as soot on it goes. Shut down to clean, then I get a good look at it. Yep, the glass has a bunch of tiny looking shatters in it on both sides. Nothing is deep, and most are small (1/4"). I'm ordering a replacement right now from England Stove Works (goodbye another $100)... am I okay to run my stove for a few days until it comes in? If yes, am I okay to leave my house with it like this? I pray it comes in in one piece, I've never had to order a piece of glass like this online before.
I think it's okay short term, stove low. I had a friend with a legit crack down the center of the glass & they used some sort of heat glass glue or something to put it back together & they continued to use it, I was like that's crazy my friend, I will pass on that lol
Here's a video of the glass... I used a flashlight so you could kinda see some of the little cracks. Again, they aren't deep at all, but a replacement is ordered & I'm just wondering about the time between now & receiving it in the mail.
