Yesterday, with no football (the Pro Bowl doesnt count!) and 8 million feet of snow on the ground I found my self looking for chores to keep me busy. This usually takes me to something related to burning wood. After a morning of digging out a stack to be potentially be used late in the season (if this winter doesnt end) I headed inside and noticed a little bit of "brown" on the glass doors and decided to clean them. I got to thinking... this is my 3rd year burning... in year 1 I had constant issues with the glass getting black and was cleaning weekly and it could have been more often. In year 2 I recall a marked difference with maybe 2x/month for cleaning. Now in year 3, I probably have cleaned the glass 3 times (started burning ion Oct) although none of the cleanings had the glass more than partially brown (more like a small section).
The clear difference is the seasoning of my wood. This year everything is at least 2 years C/S/S.
