I have to use a razor blade to scrape it off. Dealer says I'm not burning season wood. But I have a moisture tester and don't burn anything unless it's under 12%. I question whether it was installed correctly? I don't know the problem. Have a good seal on the doors and a good draft. If I burn it 100% open it will stay hot enough not to build up on the glass. Anything less than 90% wide open turns the glass black. Ol dad are you measuring that on a fresh split along the grain. if your exterior is 12% your interior can be 20% has your wood spent 6 months split and under a roof? bring your wood in let it set in the house as long as you normally wood before burning it , then take it outside split the peice in half and use you meter probes along the grain not across it I bet it reads higher than the end where you checked it yes, 12% after fresh split measuring at the core. I store it inside. These are stave cutoffs with no bark that range from 3" diameter up to 8"s. I bought a stack of kiln dried just to prove a point to the dealer. Still built up on the glass. I don't think it is plumbed in right. I don't think the glass wash vents are working they way they're supposed to. ol' dad

Not made anymore, but would be a treasure if you can find one. Gotta say , started busting firewood in '72 when I came home from the service, and it's LOT harder at 76 than it was when I was 22. May have to bite the bullet and get a Hydraulic splitter. PS: Do not buy a stove with a glass front like my buddy did. You'll be forever buying replacements.
