The operator plays an important part in keeping the glass clean and free of build-ups. The first and most important part the operator plays is making sure to burn only well-seasoned firewood. Wet wood = Dirty glass. Keeping your glass door clean is partly accomplished by the air wash system of the stove, which sends clean, fresh air for combustion, over the window before it enters the fire. The high temperatures inside the firebox also keep the glass clean. No stove door stays perfectly clean. The following are methods for keep- ing build-up on your glass to a minimum. When properly installed and operated by a knowledgeable operator, your glass door should require very little maintenance. Do not expect to get extremely long burn times and keep the window perfectly clean. Cool temperatures cause condensation of unburned volatiles on the glass. If your glass gets very dirty during overnight burning, try preheating the stove a little longer before damping it down for an overnight burn. Also, don’t damper your stove down as low because you’ll get more heat for your money by burning a little hotter for a slightly shorter time.

The air wash system will perform at its best at medium burn rates. Some stove models will self clean by burning very hot fires but be sure not to over-fire the stove. If it glows red it is over-fired. Over-firing a stove also causes the window to soot up. Extremely hot fires with fresh wood may cause the flow rate to exceed one foot per second, which is as fast as a flame can burn. This is why a candle goes out when you blow on it. Blow on it gently and it burns brightly. Blow on it hard and it goes out. This will cause excessive exhaust emissions and your window to soot up, as the stove is un- able to burn the gases emitted from the wood. Try slowing the stove down a little by closing the damper somewhat as it warms up.

Keeping freshly loaded wood away from the window will also help. Load fresh logs in the rear of the firebox. Build up tends to occur first on the right side of the window. This is caused by the swirling motion of the exhaust gases similar to water running down a drain. Keep fresh logs further back on the right side of the firebox to help prevent this problem.

Understanding how your Country™ Collection stove works should help you keep your glass door very clean, but as stated: no glass door stays perfectly clean. We hope this information is helpful in keeping your glass door clean so that you may enjoy many hours viewing your high efficiency stove. For more information, contact your Lennox Hearth
