I bought a house with a 5 year old Quadrafire 3100 wood stove. The glass is
badly pitted, it's like wax paper. I'm replacing it (to the tune of about
$180 or so). How can I keep this from happening again? Is it just a cost of
running a wood stove with glass in the door, you have to replace the glass
every couple of years?

Instead of glass, use heavy steel. Most get covered with soot and you can't
see anything anyway.

after replacing glass,do a 3 hour burn in(continuous) and than remove the
glass and clean completely with an ammonia free cleaner.

How does that prolong the life of the glass? Does keeping it clean help it
to last longer?
