Cleaning stove glass

Just wondered if anyone had any good tips for this?

 

Here's mine. A lump of scrunched up newspaper. Get it wet and clean the glass with that. You can make it more abrasive by dunking it in the ash in the grate as well. This is really effective. Try it if you don't believe me. Sometimes you need a second page to clean off all the gunk.

My tip would be not to clean the glass at all - our hunter stove has been in the living room for 19 years now and I don't think its ever had the glass cleaned by any method other than opening the air inlet up and giving it a good blast for 10 minutes.

 

Looks fine to me!

The ash tip is good IF you've only had wood in the stove. If you've been burning smokeless as well, the ash from that will scratch the glass. I generally give custys glass the once over when I'm sweepng their chimneys - I use a spray on stove glass cleaner from Calfire which is extremely effective - though it does kind of take your breath away a bit if you breathe in near it!
