Wood burning stove

[Will Heal]

I'm going to tidy up this old yeoman 4kw woodburner tomorrow, going to wire brush the rust off, clean the glass and paint it. Never done one before so any pointers would be welcome, and what is the best thing to clean the glass?

Don't use anything abrasive on the glass. If you have got some wood ash, get a damp cloth (or piece of kitchen roll), dab it in the ash and rub on the glass. Any soot should rub off and wipe off either straight away, or with a bit of a wipe with a clean cloth.

I soak a piece of scrumpled up newspaper in water & dip in the ash. Takes some elbow grease but does a great job

Second that here for Cillit Bang grime and lime . Works better than purpose made glass cleaners and much cheaper .

I use Mr Muscle trigger spray, for smoke its fine, if you have tar on it then ACR smoke remover works best but is a bit messy to use. Looks like you only have smoke on it though.

 

Would recommend using stove paint and not blacking, faster and leaves a better finish. two THIN coats after you have cleaned all the rust off. While you have it out then have a look at the ropes around the door and under the glass, the latter might be tricky as the glass fixings tend to sieze/shear.
