Pellet Stove Want to Block the Fire At Night

[Peggy]

Hello we bought a new Osburn pellet stove this year we decided to put in our living room the light from the fire keeps me up most of the night lights up the kitchen and the living more than we thought so looking for some ideas on how to block the light of the fire thinking a fire screen would help but aren't those are all mesh or are they don't want to spend a fortune and has to be something that is about 24 inches high because we don't want to block the heat and I know asking allot lol but want something that can fold up just wanting to use at night time any ideas would be great thanks Pegg

Pegg,

let me say first that I hope I'm not being a PIA by asking that in future posts, please put some punctuation in ....at least periods at the end of sentences. Your post is very hard to read without at least that.

As for your light "problem", I'm not sure I understand....the light from the stove goes into the kitchen and living room, but it's bothering you in your bedroom? Or do you sleep in the living room? I'm confused.

 

[Peggy]

No we do not sleep in the living room. we sleep in the bedroom.

I can only think of two things off the top of my head:

1. Perhaps some smaller version of those fold-up panels that you always see actors dressing behind. Perhaps Peer1 Imports might have something in a short version.

2. If your bedroom is down a hall of sorts, you could hand a curtain in the hall to block the light going down the hall.

Any screen or such that you put up might block the heat convection.
Might I suggest a "sleep mask" probably about 5 bucks and depending on your
bed mate, might be worth it.

Get a log set for the stove and it will eliminate most of the brightness.

I'd try the eye covering mask as suggested first
before spending money on the other stuff mentioned.
It's a cheap fix if it works for you.

The flame is half the reason to get a woodstove.

But How about spray painting the window with high temp stove paint. ???

Maybe close the bedroom door halfway, would still let heat in and possibly shade the bright light somewhat. Or rearrange the bed room furniture if possible so you aren't in direct line with the door/where the light is coming in?

No we do not sleep in the living room. we sleep in the bedroom.

Pegg....


maybe try some aluminum foil over the glass. Put it on the outside. It wont get hot because of the heat reflecting off of it.....try it....see how you make out.

 

[Gumbo]

I like the aluminum foil idea. Maybe make a panel of heat resistent material faced with aluminum foil that would fit over the glass portion of the stove. Insert it during the night to keep the light down. However, if you sleep with the lights on the stove light won't bother nearly as much. =)

You could try using a freestanding fireplace screen around the stove. The kind with the tight wire mesh, it would block most of the light and still look good too.
