pellet stove question, is it a daily chore to clean the glass?

Question

I can not see through my glass after 24 hours of running. I can see light from the fire, but it has that grey soot all over it within 24 hours. is this normal?

Answer 1

This is not normal. Are you burning wet stuff which produces soot.
The heat should keep the glass clear

Answer 2

very normal to have soot on the glass. Cleaning it with gloves on and steele wool pad will help, but the soot is an aspect of having a pellet stove, not much you can do to stop it from happening short of changing the type of pellets or not using the stove at all.

Answer 3

not if u ignore it
