When the stove runs at a low combustion rate, light brown stains may form, especially in the
lower corners of the glass. This indicates that the fire has been smoky and some of the smoke
has condensed on the glass. It also indicates incomplete combustion of the wood, which also
means more smoke emissions and faster formation of creosote in the chimney.
The deposits that form on the glass are the best indication of the fuel quality and success in
properly using the stove. These stains can be cleaned with a special wood stove glass cleaner.
Do not use abrasive products to clean the glass.
The goal should be having a clear glass with no brown stains. If brown stains appear regularly
on the glass, something about the fuel or the operating procedure needs to be changed.
When brown streaks are coming from the edge of the glass, it is time to replace the gasket
around the glass.
The glass gasket should be self-adhesive. Always replace the gasket with a genuine one.
