Also if the glass,on the front doors are getting black,thats not good either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbithunter 456 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 The draw is fine mate, seriously. And only black on the glass is when I close the bottom air vent, and let it burn out 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best to have one, just to err on the side of caution. Especially if you have family in the house.. Anything that burns can produce it, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
