Stop Buying expensive Stove Glass Cleaner | (The Free Fix Already Sitting in Your Stove)

Wood stove glass going black? Five reasons it happens, and the free fix already sitting in your firebox. Covers cleaning wood stove glass with ash, reading what the stain colour tells you, loading wood off the glass, testing the door gasket, and running the air wash so the glass stays clear. I'm Jake Holloway. I cut timber in Baraga County, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and the rules on this channel come off Arne Maki's woodshed door. Today's line is about the curtain of air coming down that glass. In this one: ash on damp newspaper instead of a twelve-dollar bottle, what white haze and brown streaks and a black patch each mean, keeping splits off the glass and reloading on coals, the dollar bill test on your stove door gasket, and the air-wash habit that stops the glass going black in the first place.
