artic 595 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 The glass will slighty discolour, especially when burning at low temp. I have found this only happens on over night burning. My stove has a good air wash system. I can burn all day leaving a clear glass. What I found to clean the glass is a little damp newspaper dipped in ash. Rub this in and watch how the glass clears and it does not scratch it either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've found ash good for cleaning the glass too, but the stubborn thicker deposits that accumulate when burning overnight come off a treat with a drop of vinegar on a piece of newspaper or sponge (as long as the glass isn't too hot).

Waz 4,262 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I use the ash out of the tray with wet newspaper to clean the inside of the glass, to be honest I dont bother cleaning it much. BUT does seem to throw more heat out of the front when ive done it. Mine is a foyer wood burnerrather than an insert so kicks heat out of the sides and back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stealthy1 3,964 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Is anyone putting picks up of their stoves fitted, and the heat output rating? seems to be a good range of stoves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bert69 5 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 We run a rayburn supreme multifuel and i burn any old stuff i can get my hands on, i have chopped approximately 3 tons of 1 year seasoned ash which burns beautifully and can keep it in overnight maintaining an oven temp of 150 degrees overnight. This range does our cooking, hot water amd central heating and keeps the kitchen lovely and warm, whoever turns up can't resist resting their behinds on it! I supplement our decent logs with 4x4" timbers from our machine crates at work which get the think cooking but don't last as they are mainly spruce and other sofwood. Best comprimise fuel is standing dead or over one year seasoned chestnut which gets the fire revving if you split it down but can stay in for long periods if you burn whole rounds. We also have an open fire which recieves only hardwood logs. We use coal on the rayburn only if it is seriously cold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,469 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm in the middle of buying my own place at the mo and thinking of sticking a log burner in, what will I have to do? Just get the chimney checked for blockages and cleaned or does it need a flue installing or summat? We burn loads of trees on the bonfire at work so i'll be sorted for wood of all varieties.

It's never that simple haha. I'd guess that you'll have to get the flue lined etc, which is what bumps the price up. Just a thought here .............. but I'm more than happy if anyone wants to do a deal where they swap hardwood logs or rounds for dog gear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
