Obstacles and Improvement

[lunarious]

This oven "knirks" or vibrates during the night, and during the day.

First i was irritated. But now i thought this problem or challenge is from God to work on my footwork and thus become more Real. God doesn't mean to hurt me.

Regardless of muscle or many physical skills, i'll work on contact with Ground.

I'm fascinated by the design of that wood oven. We have plenty of them in use in my part of Canada but I can honestly say I've never seen one like that with so much viewing glass. At best if there is one on the designs here it is just a very small window on the front hatch. I know this is really off topic but does the glass need to be cleaned very often to keep it looking so clear?

We've never used them since we moved in.

Edit: Wow. That's a big window.

You need to water the potted plant located on the right side of the heater. It's drooping.

We have a trick in Norway to clean those ovens quickly. You take a paper towel with some water on it, dip the paper in the ashes in the oven, then rub the paper/ash on the glass, wipe off with a clean paper towel and it's sparkly clean in under 1 minute.

I'm going to try that on the window on the firebox inserted in our brick fireplace.

Nothing cleans that faster than wood ash. You just need moisture and ash and a little rubbing.

I suppose wood ash is very acidic and would remove the caked-on black resin/oil that deposits on the window. Thanks for the tip!

Sometimes the viewing window is made of a sheet of mica. This is fragile stuff and sometimes it gets broken.
Consumer electronics also uses mica, so you can buy a small sheet made as a microwave oven spare part for very little, and cut it to size with scissors.

Sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide too if there's been a violet flame.
