    Discolouration patch on glass

    Hello! I noticed a discoloured patch on the glass. It almost has rainbow tones to its edges. I’m not sure of the correct term for it. My questions are - will it just go away? - if not, how do I remove it (hoping it isn’t permanent)? - how do I prevent it again? For context, it only showed...

    What have you done to your stove/chimney today?

    I checked the top of the stove for straightness and cleaned out the firebox and gave my stove a thorough inspection from the outside while checking seams and welds. From the inside via the firebox and the throat, I checked welds, looked for corrosion, and assessed the condition of the baffle. I...

    Hello, I've been looking for an inexpensive used wood stove in my area. I found this one offered for $200 and think it would be great. The firebox is made of glass and should give off nice light in my basement and I'd like being able to see the fire. If it is/was a great stove, I'd expect...

    Jotul F3 CB Glass Air Leak

    I recently replaced the door and glass gaskets on my Jotul F3 CB. The Dollar bill test works great on the door, but not on the glass. The glass is held by two clips, one on each side of the glass. When I do the dollar bill test the glass is very tight on the sides, but it fails on the top an...

    Replacing glass in Surdiac 513

    We bought a house with a Surdiac 513 last year and it is AMAZING. Only problem is that his summer two of the small glass panels got broken. The owner's manual says not to run the stove with broken glass (makes sense) but not how to replace them. I purchased new glass and am ready to go, but I...
