Too late... glass cleaner for years...

ultrarunner has it!

I've been cleaning stove glass for over 40 years now.

A razor scrape followed up with generic glass cleaner on cold glass works a treat.

Wait for glass to cool, then use white vinegar on a paper towel.

Windex and green scotch Brite pad followed by paper towel works great.

Looks like it's been about 15 years and 10 days ago that we bought our wood burning stove. We were told to clean the glass by wetting a paper towel or piece of newspaper and dipping it in the ashes. Then wipe down the inside of the glass. It makes a gray paste. Doesn't take hardly any scrubbing at all. Then use a clean paper towel, dip it in water to wipe the paste off.

Works great. Simple and fast. No chemicals.

We Have a New Wood Burning Stove

Well, I have always wanted one. We have a large supply of wood available. I enjoy cutting, splitting and stacking wood. So we bought a Napoleon 1400P from a local company and had it installed in our basement with a class A chimney run up through the floor, ceiling and roof. It took the...

Plain water on a paper towel works for me

I've had both wood stove and pellet stove with glass in the doors. Both would soot up quite quickly. I simply gave up trying to keep the glass clean. Saved much time and energy. Clean glass in the stove door - no impact on the efficiency of the stove.
