Keeping glass clean on multi fuel stove?

[1441]

I clean the glass every day on our stove at least once sometimes twice to avoid it getting too bad.

It's not difficult to clean, I leave the doors open let them cool and use one of those sponge scouring pads, what do you use do?

Any tips, anything we can put on the glass to prevent build up?

We burn a mixture of logs & "rose blend" a compressed tea bagged shaped solid fuel.

You could have a valid point with the air, we to have it choked well back currently as the place is plenty warm enough, would currently get too hot if we let it burn any faster than we are.

Another quick question, there are two small "air intakes" at the very top one either side, what effect does opening/closing these have?

Thank you, your replies have prompted me to look further into this, it's not just light it and forget, we have wrongly assumed fires like air from the bottom, it appears logs don't like this they prefer the opposite.

Unable to give make & model it was installed prior to us purchasing the property, it does supply our hot water (gallons & gallons) of it, I can add photos?

Cheers guys, genuinely learned a lot about how to drive a fire allready this evening, still plenty to learn though.

Thank you for mentioning the stacking of logs, they aren't touching the fire, we had allready learned that lesson but I apreciate your taking the time to mention it.

Kiln dried logs, we have acquired quite a bit of land with the property with quite a lot of timber available, I think we should store this (cut in June) maybe for use next year and buy in a bit for this season?

I cleaned the glass and opened the two upper vents, it's running a lot cleaner on the glass front, also thank you for identifying the stove, I have been able to download the manual for it.
