How to clean a WOOD STOVE DOOR glass - the ONLY WAY

[@safffff1000]

lol that glass practically clean to start, I have thick baked on black stuff, won't even budge with that method

[@MsCarettaCaretta]

Worked really well on my stove 🙏

[@tammyhanson7843]

WHAT? I've struggled forever with this. Great tip💜

[@tomzelinski4397]

Thank you I will definitely try this. Nice to see someone else in central mich burning coal.

[@maryhardy6123]

Cool so easy names me wish I had one. Short but sweet but too short. Miss Ashley and the kids. Love you guys always.

[@JackSmith-v2v]

Thanks man that was so easy, i felt that the ash would scratch the glass glad I didn’t go with the ash good work!!

[@notoriouspig6844]

Thank you! From Goshen, Arkansas!

[@normamason3185]

And the teacher shines through in you again. Good video. Have a great day.

[@christyassid8871]

Wow! Great info! Thank you, Eric!

[@michigandaffodil7561]

OH SOOOO Simple. What a GREAT video. I shared it on fb

[@ap2291]

This is awesome and worked perfectly. Weekly we get newspaper ads in the mail so I just keep those and save them up.

[@mp3dglasses]

yoooooo. worked like a charm. thank you sir!

That’s an awesome tip love it Shalom Out of Goshen family

[@TammyCatJo]

I’m shocked! I did not know it was that simple.

[@rockabillyrevolution]

Sorted many thanks!

[@passtheparcel360]

The soft cloth and ash method is reliable and easy. Just slightly wet the cloth first.

[@connimace258]

You do such great tutorials. Thanks for sharing.

[@smerkins65]

It works so well! Thank you!!!

[@garethgordon9141]

Brilliant! Thanks 👍🏻

[@michelleduysings2764]

Boy does that bring back cleaning memories. Eric, how do you keep the area where the rocks are, cleaned? Shop vac or do you remove the rocks when burning season is done? Thank you! 🤗

[@GoshenPrepping]

We shop vac it. That was our initial plan, not knowing how well it would work. It works great!

[@MajorsMimi]

Another helpful video! Eric, would you see if there was a way to clean between the glass on the oven doors, and if so, please make that video.

[@GoshenPrepping]

Honestly, that's on my list! I've had a few requests for that one.

[@moonviolet27]

I will try this! I have used ashes for years🙂

[@camobows7511]

That was brilliant! I’d never thought of using plain water & newspapers.

[@billparsons7732]

Where can we find a newspaper?

[@himalayanmountaingoat6758]

Use your iPhone

[@passtheparcel360]

Hahahahaha

[@RobCummings]

That works with loose carbon. For baked-on carbon, the only thing that gets it off is Easy Off oven cleaner. Spray the foam on cool glass and leave it for an hour, then wipe it off with a wet sponge.

[@banditoo7]

Absolutely useless. Made no difference. Dipped wet paper in the ash and the baked on stain came off almost instantly. Looks like new now and no scratches.

[@mariaschulner7162]

Thank you. I appreciate you!

[@Jean2235177]

Easy solution! Who knew! 👍

[@CarolCooper-w2s]

This is brilliant! Now I will clean that glass every time before I start a fire. So easy and fast!! Thank you!!!

[@GoshenPrepping]

You're welcome!

[@karate_girl_ibiza]

No way did this make any difference to my charred glass

[@2mnxffrddfghjbbvcdfh6644bcddcv]

Works great thanks. I burn dry seasoned wood (hardwoods and softwoods). This won't work if you burn low and burn wet wood.

[@PeggyLindley]

Thank you

[@sao007]

It works well thx

[@Momma4Freedom]

Excellent idea! After our huge freezing rain event about a month ago and no power for a week, our wood stove has quite a bit of soot on it. I was wondering how I was going to get it clean. Now I know!!!

[@bermondsey548428]

I have tried it not a a bit of difference still stained

[@tamzenkarma]

My glass on the front of my stove is black... Totally black This will not work. It's old black soot and I cannot see my fire 🔥. I don't know what to do... But this wont do it.. I wish. My glass is also removable from the door Help!!!!!

[@schnauzerranch9048]

That's cool.😎

[@alanross3435]

Hey all, we’ve been doing that for years now and I can tell you that it works well, except we use paper towels, no newspaper 📰 here, just internet!😂😂😂☮✌🏻

[@georgehays4908]

How do I remove the opaque white residue after removing the darker creosote ? Please and thank you ! Peace from Cass County Michigan , United States .

[@benzoverakers1877]

nice job

[@GlenB-qo7wd]

A damp peace of kitchen towel with fire ash on will also work and clean any blacking of the glass

[@freddiecordova4343]

Maybe clean it daily or every other days ! Oven cleaner works great 😊

[@thomascassidy-f4q]

how would you clean the glass if it is still hot?

[@ToddSmith-t3l]

Yeah, if you’re doing it every five days try doing that after a month

[@marshaabbott436]

Good to clean windows with newspaper and a mixture of vinegar and water.

[@GoshenPrepping]

No need for the vinegar. Water works just fine.

[@bman6065]

Still bad to use hot water if the glass isn't super hot? We just got one and my mother and law does it to hers. We're just now breaking it in and have some tint to clean off. So after a few burns we have opaque creosote build up. What do you recommend for that? Just tried this method and it didn't cut it even a little bit.

[@lespaul85]

This seems to work ok but when I have a big buildup, a little bit of ash works amazing and I've not really scratched anything as of yet.

[@mtzlfldt]

My struggle is now officially over. 😁

[@dorothysweeney747]

Cool

[@douglasseto1646]

I put an empty box of rice krispies cereal in the woodstove...the box burned on the glass and its really hard to get off...any advise? :(

[@georgehays4908]

Try a razor blade . A little vinegar and water on paper towels . Use 1st towel to get the majority , then repeat with clean paper towel , repeat till clean . Build good hot fire , as this removes most of the real black creosote . So sorry to hear . I'm thinking about burning Fruit loops , but now I don't think I will......lol .

[@jjames2162]

Yeah Kevin, did it work??!

[@faybradbury7738]

He must be still scrubbing 😂

[@oliviergagnon2592]

Lol

[@mr.redneck2715]

That’s soot not creosote!!!!

[@24upickles]

The soot on our glass burns off. If it gets dirty we just crank up the fire and next thing the glass is clear again.

[@GoshenPrepping]

Some of the soot becomes ash attached to the glass. You could never burn off all the debris, no matter how hot the stove gets. Your comment is like saying you can drive fast through the rain to wash your car. It may get a lot of the dirt off, but sometimes you need to actually wipe it with a cloth. Your comment looks good on paper, but in real life, it doesn't work.

[@shed.projects5150]

Door didn't seem very dirty to me.

[@bu5761]

Hahaaa not at all. More like a dusting. Mine is so thick and crusty a razor blade barely scapes it off. I’d be there for 2 hours using this method, I’ve tried it all. Razor blade is my easiest way - I guess that’s what happens when you’re actually using it to heat a house.

[@georgehays4908]

​@@bu5761how do you get white opaque residue off , after I get all blck off . It usually comes off after a few repetitive wipes . Not this time . Please and thank you !

[@bu5761]

@@georgehays4908 if it’s not coming off with a razor then a foamy glass cleaner (or white vinegar) then the heat may have distorted the glass, my guess.

@@georgehays4908 I’m no wood stove expert lol. I just have an old Lopi which is incredible to have in my 1400 sf home. It’s built to heat 4k sf so needless to say I’m always warm. I have a heat pump but never use it. I designed and built this place and the heat pump was just for alternative use if it gets rented out or I sell it in the future. Same as you I only use wood, but I’m in Texas so maybe only 3 months of full use. Supposed to be 80 today 😂 Dec 8th - crazy.

Of subject but can you remind me what the name of that company out of Oregon that is like a co op for foods they do drop shipping. You buy your bags of beans rice and wheat from them?

There is a link in the description below. It is called azure.

[@LowreyContractorsUK]

No this doesn’t work, I don’t know what wood you burn . Got burnt on hard black crust on my glass. This won’t work on the wood we get in the UK

[@2mnxffrddfghjbbvcdfh6644bcddcv]

😂😢😮😅😮

[@adzyful]

Can confirm

[@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259]

It depends on if you've got air wash across the inside. I use diesel fuel or kerosene to remove suit deposits but heat from a hot fire will burn it off.

[@Anthony_Spilotro]

Are you burning softwood? Softwoods will make my glass dirty lookin after only a couple minutes. When im burning sugar maple and yellow birch ( Main wood in my area of Nova Scotia.) I only have to clean the glass once a week with a damp cloth.

Bar Keepers Friend. Thank me later.

[@MarthaWalker-e7q]

does not work..... only razor and water, or ashes and water

[@andrewbancroft6174]

Razor blade and a hand wipe gets it clean in no time. Im waiting to see if the glass gets scratched but looks ok so far. Anyway a new glass is pretty cheap so no worries if it does ill just no do it again!

A old timer told us to put a cup of rock salt in the wood stove when it burning hot to keep the creosote down in the stove pipes.

Am sorry but you are using the ash to clean the glass like the other people's videos. Except your using news paper instead of paper towels.

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

Lol - you've severely overfired your stove judging by the telltale white paint on its top. No wonder you don't get any more stubborn deposits to clean.
