I like to watch both locations plus the stove pipe 18 inches up. The front-top and the stovepipe I use to monitor the cat and the top-top to know...
My window stays dirty during shoulder season burns but when the weather gets cold it cleans itself up. I get it sparkly clean every 2-3 weeks...
Good point. I do that too.
