Hello,
We have been living in our house for several months now, and with the cold season, we have been using the wood stove.
It is the Hark 112 Ecoplus model.
Since we are still new to this area, I would like to know about your experiences with cleaning the glass door.
Currently, we use firewood purchased from a hardware store. We have heard that this is not the best quality. However, we currently lack dry storage options for other wood, which is often delivered in larger quantities.
After nearly every use, the glass gets quite sooty and needs to be cleaned. Is it the same for you, or are we doing something wrong?
Cleaning the glass after every nice fire is quite time-consuming.
I make sure to place the logs as far away from the glass as possible.
Best regards,
Freedark

Wood wants to burn, and if the stove gets hot enough, the soot will burn off too.
...That matches my experience as well; you just have to heat the stove like a locomotive, and the glass will burn clean.akanezumi schrieb:
A quick tip, in case you didn’t know: It’s actually quite easy and fast. Just dampen a kitchen towel, dip it once or twice into the stove ash, and then wipe the glass. If needed, wipe again with a clean cloth. Takes less than 2 minutes.Or just wipe with newspaper, that works very well.akanezumi schrieb:

You can follow up with a clean cloth if needed. Takes less than 2 minutes. That’s how I do it too, but I start with newspaper. Final cleaning with a paper towel. The first step is always vacuuming the door to remove ash. (And laying newspaper on the floor beforehand).
