HI Country girl,

One of the easiest things to use is the cleaners you get for halogen cooker tops.

Or if you don't fancy using anything as harsh as this you can make a paste from the ash in the stove and some vinegar use old newspapers to polish the glass with this mixture, then wipe off with kitchen roll.

If you're getting tar build up in the stove I'd say that you're using wet fuel and the stove is not getting enough draught to ignite it properly. Leave the vents open untill everything is burning inside. (this would also be the reason that the glass is getting so dirty.)

Regards,

Fries.
