Anybody have any ideas of something that could be used to block small airwash holes from working?
Background- Reviews of my stove (NZ6000) are filled with complaints about dirty glass and how the airwash is ineffective. Also as hot as I get my stove (500) I can never burn off the grapefruit size soot pattern in the upper corners. This area is exactly where the majority of the airwash holes spew the air. I'm thinking that since the air for these holes comes from external cold intakes mounted on the outside of my chase, they actually cool the glass in those areas promoting soot and keeping the temp too low to burn it off. Everywhere else the airwash does not blow stays clean at high temps.
Soooo, I would like to try and clog or block the holes to see if my theory works. So Im looking for something that might block the air but could later be removed (either drilled out or just a metal/verm barrier that could be moved)
