Question 6

Why is the glass on my wood burner going black?

Accepted Answer

There are many reason why this can be happening. If your glass was clean before the stove was lit then the glass IS NOT at fault. One of the main reasons your wood burner ceramic stove glass might be going black after burning is due to using unseasoned and untreated wood. Wood that still carries moisture and hasn’t been ‘kiln dried’ will create excessive smoke when it burns, this will build up on your stove glass and cause it to go black. Burning the wrong type of fuel such as chip board with many contaminates in it, treated or painted wood, ordinary household coal, a fault with the stove such as a leaking gasket on the door, glass or flue, not using the airwash controls correctly and lastly just not burning the stove hot enough. It is important that al these issues are addressed and a study of the user manual is recommended. Just to add that a blackened glass can be cleaned by correct burning of the stove and if fitted correct use of the airwash will assist in this. Try to avois manual cleaning by hand.
