Love my Hastings. I've had it for several years. I will typically clean it every 10 bags or so. Every ton, I'll clean the vent. At season's end, I pay my stove dealer to do a complete tear down, clean and reassemble. I use a wet paper towel to clean off the inside of the glass whenever the stove shuts down. I never have to turn it up higher than 3 and it will easily keep my 1800 sqft upper level nice and toasty even on the coldest winter nights.
I've never had a problem.
