We had our first overnight burn. Stove top was only about 150 this AM but that was fine, we won't be burning during our workday so we didn't really need to reignite the coals this AM., I suppose we could have if we wanted to though.
Two questions, when you are burning low and slow for an overnight, what should the general temps be evened out to, so that it lasts a long time but still burns well enough to keep going? We had it shut down pretty low but the temps were dropping under 300, I suspected it might just get too low and go out if it kept dropping like that so I got it up about 450 and for a decent while between 400 and 450 before I decided to leave it alone for the night.
Also, because of the longer lower burn the glass is now hazy and somewhat darkened. Should I clean this each night before I start the stove up again to keep it at it's clearest? If I burn it hot again will it burn it off, or just concrete it on there? I have read how to clean the glass I just kind of want to know how frequently I have to keep up with it.
