soot on window fo pellet stove

[gsxr-rider137]

i recently bought and installed a breckwell P2001 fireplace insert pellet stove. the issue i have is soot on the window. the manual says common issues are damper not being open enough,,and pellet auger speed too slow.. i opened the damper 1/2 more and increased the flow of pellets. still i have soot that forms and the top of the windows and seems to flow downward..almost looking like stalagites that form in caves..dripping from the ceiling.. what else can i do to stop the soot from forming on the window??

You'll always have soot when running on the lower settings. Turn it up and it burns cleaner without soot.

I clean mine everyday...

I’m sure it’s not recommended, but I just open it up when it is running and wipe it a few times (two seconds worth) dry towel of course that keeps it looking nice while it is running. Then I’ll just give it a good cleaning when I shut her down.

Grey soot on the Glass is normal
if you have Black soot or a sticky build up then you have a Problem, Air adjustment or with air leak from the door or ash pan.

^^^^^^ I do this too.


I think most stove glass soots up quicker when the stove
runs on low settings.

I have the p2000fs and i get the same upside down Stalagtite look on the glass running on the #2 setting.Removed my log kit and tried different damper settings with no luck.I'll have to keep the rags handy.
