RonB,
A wonderful idea, only gotchas are:
The chemicals being burned off may cause more problems to the stove (unknown) and you have to have the glass work done at a stove shop ($) if you wish to maintain any warranty etc... .
SmokeyBear:
I expect the burn chemicals would do little harm to the inside of the stove (not sure, but I 'expect'). Most clothing material sold in the US has to pass several strigent chemical and fire retardent tests such that if the cloths do catch fire they do little harm to humans or surrounding environment. Therefore, I would expect minumal harm to the guts of a pellet stove. That said, however, the coat may have been made in China - which means all bets are 'off' as to content and chemical nature or the jacket!
As to glass work being done at a stove shop - I frequently drop the windows out of my pellet stove to clean the air ducts behind them. It is 2 nuts and 10 minutes work - and recommended in the WhitField owners manual. I can easily flip my windows a replace them inside-out ... or outside-in
. Not quite sure why you would propose taking the stove into a stove shop.
Thanks for the reply. Take care
