    To clean the glass on a woodstove door use a dampened paper towel and dip it in cold wood ash. Make sure the glass is cool to the touch and rub the paper towel on the glass until it's clean, it takes literally less than a minute. Then take a clean paper towel and wipe the residue off. Much cheaper and easier than store bought cleaners.

    The Salamander Hobbit stoves are brilliant little things and widely available in UK. Top tip for cleaning the glass and anything with wood residue on it is to dip a damp cloth or paper towel in wood ash and then wipe the glass clean before giving it a final polish with a dry paper towel. It leaves the glass crystal clear. The stove was well worth renovating and you did a great job on it. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

After grinding/wiping off all the rust I rubbed it down with a few coats of cooking oil (and even a bit of bacon grease) and burned a few hot fires in it..did a good job of sealing the surface from rust. Ill plan on getting some of that polish too and seeing how that compares. Enjoy the stove!
