How to Prevent My POMOLY Wood Stove from Cracking ? - Pomoly Xian - 04-20-2022
The stove is equipped with front door glass or side glass so that the combustion of firewood can be checked at any time and the burning firewood can be added to the stove in time. At the same time, it can let the light shine and illuminate the night.
The glass on the stove is specially designed for camping. Under normal use of the stove, the glass will not break.
There are many reasons for the rupture of stove glass.
Impact damage is one of them. It is caused by strong contact between something and your stove glass. Please remember that the stove glass is fragile in nature and cannot withstand the impact of external forces.
1. Avoid overloading the fire box with logs for fuel. You may bump the stove glass into the logs protruding from the box. This may cause the glass to crack.
2. Avoid the glass from being hit by heavy objects, which will also cause cracks.
3. Avoid sprinkling cold liquid on hot glass. Hot glass is easy to break when it comes into contact with cold liquid.
4. Avoid over tightening the screws and bolts fixing the glass. Once the stove reaches temperature, the glass will expand slightly. If the glass is fixed too tightly, it will break.
5. Avoid cleaning the stove immediately after using the stove. The stove should be cleaned after cooling.
What we need to know is that hair cracks may appear on the glass after impact, which is difficult to see with the naked eye. Once your stove reaches temperature, the glass may weaken further and more obvious cracks may appear.
Moreover, improper combustion will also cause the broken of stove glass.
1. Avoid burning wet, untreated or processed wood.
2. Avoid using wood bricks.
3. Avoid burning fuel with high sulfur content. Sulfuric acid is corrosive. Burning fuels with high sulfur content, such as petroleum coke, may damage your stove and cause glass breakage.
4. Avoid burning domestic coal. Standard household coal can be burned on an open fire, but it is a highly volatile fuel. In the confined space of the stove, this may lead to a small explosion, which is powerful enough to break the glass.
5. Avoid overheating of the stove. Excessive combustion may occur when the stove is too hot, which may break the glass on the stove door.
Use tips:
1. Clean and dry the stove regularly before use.
2. Always maintain the air flushing flow (do not completely turn off the secondary air).
