Smart ideas that make everyday life easier to install in the house

Hello,

Especially you with your stingy house are going to fall flat on your face...

I fear that too.

Honestly, you’re not all there upstairs if you look at the nonsense you come up with.

You should refrain from that! The users, like this forum, tolerate you too; so you can also tolerate . If not, use the ignore button, then you won’t be tempted to reply to him.

By the way, if the panes get dirty, it means the fire was fueled incorrectly. Probably also some wannabe experts in your circle of acquaintances...

That’s not true. We operated a fireplace for years; calculated and installed by the stove fitter. And despite rather expensive, seasoned wood (e.g., beech), the glass got sootied up repeatedly. Anyone who wants to buy a stove with a glass pane has to internalize this: it takes work in many respects. The only thing that can comfort you is the fact that — cleaning the glass after every use — takes little to no effort.

We’re getting another one, this time a cast iron stove; then the chestnuts will work out too.

Did your fireplace have [Scheibenspülung]?

Did your fireplace have a glass cleaning system?

That did not exist in that form in the 90s; at least not to my knowledge. Besides, it does not exempt the operator from cleaning the glass.

No, you will always clean something there - but the windshield washing in combination with proper combustion effectively prevents buildup outside.

And we are talking here about new buildings with modern fireplaces...

And just as a thought: Your wife complains in the evening "I'm cold" - what do you do then? Turn up the underfloor heating so that it's warmer in 12 hours? All stove owners then turn on the stove

Use a good old blanket? Cuddle closer together? Drink something hot?

Sure, anyone who has put such a stove in their house will also defend it and use it "regularly". We have weighed the pros and cons and will decide against it, although we have enjoyed the many advantages for years in our parents' house.

As second-home owners, we decided against the stove in the new house. So far, we do not miss it. In the first house, our stove was constantly in use; by the way, the glass panes were rarely dirty.
