Over the past few months I've been here asking for advice re: stoves! The 4 of you have been great & informative :T& the finished product is now up & running. I decided to go for the Charnwood Country 8 woodburner & it looks brilliant even if I say so myself.

So I'd like to share with you what your advice has given me!!

Thanks, pinkmami - that's a great stove by all accounts - I wish you many happy years with it!

Hello - hope you can help ! What would you recommend to clean the glass on a woodburning stove?

A._Badger

For light staining, I find something like Tesco's glass cleaner works fine. For heavy staining you need to buy a specialist stove glass cleaning product - most stove retalers sell them, but wear gloves when youlre using it as the stuff is mildly caustic.

Traditionalists use wood ashes dipped in vinegar.

Hope that helps.

Barkeepers friend cleans glass and will remove thick tar, I use it on my so called clean burn stove and it doesn't scratch
