How Often Do You Clean Your Glass / What With??

[Witterings]

An old thread resurrected 😄

 

It's funny reading it now and over time have learnt more how to use the fire. I think I had a couple of bad pieces of wood that had creosote or something in them and what they gave off was really stubborn to get off the glass (removed it with a damp kitchen towel dipped in the ash but took a while) and I probably used to throttle it back too much which didn't help.

Ever since then I've just used a single damp piece of kitchen towel and cleaned the glass every time I re-lay the fire, because I'm doing it regularly it literally only takes like 20 seconds if that and no build up at all. 

 

Not that we're huge socialisers but have loved having the wood burner this lockdown especially with the recent cold stretch ... it's made "something" of a Friday / Saturday night to light it and put a film on when you can't meet up with friends at all.
