I've had one of the 'sealed' inserts for about 6 years now and the glass on it will get covered with a thin layer of creosote when I'm not burning hot enough and long enough. The past few years I've been heating with nothing but the stove so I never allow it to go all the way out and cool down but it does tend to get 'cold' during the day when no one's at home tending it and the glass gets glazed as a result. That being the case the best thing I've found to clean it is some of the cleaner designed for stove glasses and a piece of course steel wool. A squirt of the stuff on the steel wool and a few scrubs followed by a wipe with an old rag and it's clear as a bell.I tried the razor blade thing for awhile but the steel wool works much better. I don't know what the cleaner has in it but it's sort of like waxing a car in that it leaves a film of something on the glass that keeps the creosote from sticking to it as quickly as it would otherwise.
