Constantly sooty glass.

[firefighterjake]

Almost never an issue with the stove.
Probably either wood
-moisture content
-a lot of times it happens when you choke the air off then it goes away when you get her hot again
-door gasket needs to be replaced
Usually just the wood though

it seems like whenever I burn over night or well I'm at work for the day. When I come back to the stove I find very brown soot covered glass. This is usually the times when I have the air almost all the way cut back. Is this a sign that the secondays are stopping befor they maybe could if I wasn't cutting the air so far back? The soot typically burns off with the next fire but if I can prevent it from happening some that would be cool.

Is there anything that can be done to help to prevent some of this?

1.) Does the problem go away when you have the door cracked open?
2.) Can you post a pic of your chimney and roof?
