Burning 4 medium splits of Box Elder, and had the dog house air "blow torch" the bottom front log away. Then the log above it wound up on the glass. All I did was open the up the air to burn it off the glass.
I had that happen this morning, but I couldn't stand it. On went the welders gloves and pushed back in a little.
It's in the low 40's here today.........................my house is at 70-72* depending where you're at.............................no need to fart around with a log to get the stove warmer at all...............................my dogs would hate me if I did!!!
