Review of Stovax Stockton 5 stove
Cord around door broken twice and window glass bubbling
Can you let me know why the cord around the door has broken twice, and also why the glass on the door is bubblying. I have had the installer out once, Steinberg in Tramore, and have asked for a further call out to replace the cord, but they have not done so.
Stove expert replied: Glass can become discoloured for a number of reasons. If it appears that a spiders web is gradually spreading over the glass this is usually because the stove is shut down for prolonged periods and the gases are attacking the glass surface. Short periods of fast burn are recommended. If however the glass takes on a cloudy appearance this is normally down to the stove being over-drawn and the glass has been damaged during this period. Fast burn should normally be for 15 - 20 mins max at any one time. This can also be caused by an excessive flue draw!
