Replacement Stove Glass

[snoko]

Hi guys, being a prat :stupido3:this morning I managed to crack the glass on my wood burning stove. It's a Handol 51L and the glass is cracked and split on the bottom left corner, a bit about the size an egg is ready to drop out. So can I just glue it back on using ??? and continue using it or will I have to replace the glass. I think it's 4mm ceramic glass.?

 

Anybody else managed to break their glass and if so what's the best solution and how expensive is it likely to be?

 

Cheers

cracked mine on dunsley highlander 5 it cost about £30 to replace, i dont think you could glue it as the heat would melt the glue imo.

Off topic but I`ve been set on a 51L for about 2 years now and not beaten a £995 supply only quote, how much did you purchase yours for I kindly ask?

Seen one in operation and really liked it but it was 2k all in fitted with 8metres of 316 grade, reg plate and chimney cowl which is way beyond my budget so going down the supply my own route and got a local SFA/Hetas engineer lined up to save a bundle with the extras and such but looking at the cheapest possible Handol (contura) 51L supplier ideally with interest free instalment payments but thats asking just a bit too much?

Hi, had mine about a year now, paid about the same although the s/s flue up the outside of the building cost more than the stove. Absolutely love it, more than halved the gas bill! Gives out great heat and very efficient. Currently burning a mix of oak and Leylandii, well I was until I broke the fecking glass! Handol - Highly recommended.

Update - used some Stove Rope/Glass Glue to stick the glass back together - worked a treat and now got the stove back up and running - very hot and glass still holding.
