Cleaning glass on Hunter Herald 8

[Alycidon]

Thanks Alycidon, mine's a 1430. I've just found the instruction book for it and it seems I've been doing it wrong . I've been controlling the speed of burn with the primary air rather than the secondary lever. When I light it tonight I'll do it by the book (apart from the bit about using 1.5 kg of kindling!).

 

Good man, please contact if you are still having problems.

I was not familiar with the stove but have now had a look on Google, nice stove, looks like a dedicated wood burner in which case you only have a control which on a multi fuel stove is known as the secondary air control, ie an air curtain only. If that is getting dirty glass then I would be surprised, if it is then talk to the manufacturer or dealer/installer that you bought it through.

 

Morso Squirrell, a pic would enable me to id the model but Morso dont chop and change models from one decade to the next. Assuming you have only one wheel on the lower door ( primary air) you also have a lever underneath the ash lip that moves left to right that controls the secondary air inlet then you have a 1430. 1410 and 1412 models both have 2 wheels, one at the top and one at the bottom. If none of that stack up and you are having issues with black glass pm me your phone number and I will give you a bell to discuss. It may be a very old model that did not have an air sweep, Morso stoves if looked after will last 40 years plus.

Thanks for the info

 

For the record I haven't had a prob with the glass other than a Couple of early issues due to me being a noddy, I only clean it because I'm starting to get a bit anal about this wood burning lark.

 

Now where'd I put that moisture meter ?

Everyone seems to have a different way to clean their glass, many of which work very well. A few tips:-

 

• Never attempt to clean your stove door glass when it is hot
• Wear gloves
• Remove soot with a damp cloth - this will allow you to remove the often acidic particles present in soot which can cause corrosion and damage to printed glass.
• Use the appropriate cleaning agents for printed glass and non-printed glass.
• Rather than spraying the product onto your glass, which could then land on your rope seal, spray the cleaning fluid onto your cloth.
• You should also apply the cleaning fluid in a soft and gentle manner because aggressive cleaning could compromise the glass and scratch it.
• If cleaning fluid comes into contact with the rope seal it is advisable to replace this as it could well be compromised.
