Everyone take notice that this is a US Stove....say no more.
Well said.....
That is a Crazy Video.... Crazy Big Fire.
I gotta watch it again...
I've watched it twice, and both times the only thing I think is "Cool -- the walls of his stove are on fire."
Actually, I also think "I hope my stove never does that ..."
ive seen stove swhich were burned dirty then given back to the store (we get to eat them <sigh> ) anyway i digress, i go through most of them when we get them back ive test fired stoves straight off the truck (its actualy fun if you are a pyro like me ) anyway (again) they would have been run so dirty that after a quick cleanout and firing the soot (unburned residue from an incomplete burn) that clings to surfaces would actually start to burn. its pretty kool, but upsetting at the same time as i tend to think "how many folks are actually letting their stoves get this buggered up in their house?"
lets keep em clean gang, a properly maintained stove will burn the same way after lots of use as it did when you burned your first fire, if it dont start looking for why before you cant fix it or it makes a mess.or even worse it defecates in the sheets when you really need it to work.
Its normal for glass to soot up, especially burning on low. Almost all makes and models soot up the glass.I notice that every time I clean my stove (which is every 7-10 days in burning season) that I need to clean the glass.

Mine will in a couple days burning on low.
Yeppers.... Couple days is all it takes. Let it go a couple weeks and you'll see what "Dirty" means...
As long as your cleaning that Vernon as often as you say, your not gonna get the build up Mike describes.
Best way to tell, is the color of your ash. A lighter grey to a lighter brown (grey being better), isnt bad. When you start getting a black to dark brown soot... Then you may have a problem.
Here is my glass after about 25 bags... Or a few weeks. !!
Mike can you talk a little more about stoves that were "burned dirty" and firing the soot and how to avoid all of that? This is my second year with a Mt Vernon, and I notice that every time I clean my stove (which is every 7-10 days in burning season) that I need to clean the glass. That makes me think I'm not burning hot enough or long enough. With the Mt Vernon there's so many settings that its difficult to know what settings will allow me to burn hot enough to avoid what you are talking about.
Mike,
You know that telling a lot of us on here to keep 'em clean is preaching to the choir.
