it says in the merrimack instruction book to only replace doors with high temperature ceramic glass.
Unless you're getting black gunk (which should be addressed with better wood/burning practices)- a paper towel with water, followed by a dry one will get the glass as clean as any cleaner. If you have black gunk- burn hotter and it will burn off.
Then there's no need to worry about the cleaner!
Woodstoves use ceramic- it's much more tolerant to heat shock because of low expansion.

Agree with everything but two points . . . I'm cheap . . . I use newspaper in place of the paper towel . . . that and I thought you were a staunch advocate of peeing on the glass AP.
50/50 water and urine- best thing there is, but nobody seems to listen. It's hard casting pearls before swine for this long Jake
thanks guys i have been using the newspaper ash trick , according to the bottle it says it conditions so i figured i wouldnt have to clean the glass as much. i just dont want to put it on and reck the glass.
I wonder what they think conditioning means? How do you change the condition? Maybe our newspaper and ash conditions and I never knew it!
