my mum has a massive stove( it heats a 60ft long shead) its amazing, heats the place up so much we have to be careful we dont put too much turf on! (and thers no radiators either) the only reason the glass on the stove or wherever gets black is because of the air circulation, on my mums one anyway ther is a dampener at the back and air vents at the front to open and close, it is the smoke that makes the glass black, and if you control this first you can clearly see your fire burning all day, if however your father comes along and tries to park his arse on the stove with his foot on the glass or uses the dampeners wrong or leaves the door open too long the glass goes black,.....anyway my mum uses damp kitchen paper-that's all- you can take it off quite easily, then again she does it the next day ie. thers never been a build up of black stuff, she would do it in the morning when the stove is cool. x
