Nice set up dude! Last year was my first year heating with my blaze king ultra, comfortably heated my whole home. Nothing is more relaxing then a wood stove, well maybe a hot tub and a six pack of IPA!
Great video today! I do one more check because I use a 43 year old Vermont casting. The check is simple. To check how air tight the stove is. Have a fire then shut down the air to make that good fire nock right down. If the fire goes to nothing great. If it does not the fire is getting air from someplace and that needs to be addressed. Door seals most of the time. It’s important so you can maintain a safer stove.
Nice vid Jake. When I clean my Fireplace Insert, I use the Shop vacuum from the outside of the house. I bought a 25 foot hose. Having the vacuum outside makes for a much better cleanup. I’ll cover the opening on the window with a couple of old bath towels. Enjoy the stove this season🪵👍
That’s a good idea 👍🏼 I have a long hose for mine, but I also have a super fine particulate sleeve I slip over the stock filter so it doesn’t blow ash all over.
Quads are awesome!!!! I have one in basement and one on first floor burn about 10 cords a year love it. Dude Ranch rocks it with another great video. Have fun at show…….
Jake..Dave is correct use the ash with water and a paper towel and you can get the real cake up build up that the ammonia or vinegar will leave behind. I just did my wood stove and pellet stove last week and have been burning all week!
Fold up a paper towel into 4ths. Dampen one side in a cup of water or with a spray bottle. Touch the damp paper into a pile of the white fly ash. Run your glass surface lightly with the damp ash. The glass will be cleaner than you’ve ever seen before 👍.
Try newspaper instead of paper towels. I don't know why but it works better. Wet newspaper with ashes gets most of the stuff off the glass then clean as usual.
Thoughts from an IM3100 owner: 1. Take off right side panel. There is a flapper at bottom back. Open flapper and Vacuum in there. Tons of ash falls through those two holes and into that area (clogging it long-term). 2. Might shop for Simond Store Ceramic fiber blanket (150" long) for replacement blanket material. 3. Might shop for Lynn Manufacturing Replacement Quadrafire Baffle Board when you want to replace that. 4. Attempt to slide new dollar bill past gasket. That is a fairly decent test. 5. You can get an external air kit that pulls air from the outside into the bottom back. Baffles direct the air to the two vents on the right side (bar vents with holes and the back two holes). Prevents you from using heated air for combustion. Edit: Maybe not... You have your air vent levers in a different spot than me. So maybe the info needs a small tweak. Cya! Thx for vid!
Jake, I clean my wood stove glass with the cleaner you would use to clean the glass on the stove top on your kitchen glass stove top for years since it came out.

Jake good info. Always great to get that first fire started. Something magical and relaxing about fire every night during winter. Stay safe.
Thanks Tony! I love playing around with the stove, as if I don’t have enough hobbies 😂

Nice! How did you like your stove? I’d say a six pack with the wood stove is pretty darn good!!
@@DudeRanchDIY it’s a BEAST. Doesn’t take much to cook you out of your home. I’d buy it again in a heart beat!

This is actually something I do just for fun, I love playing around with the dampers to make the flames “dance”

Sure are! I’m hoping to get another soon!
You're on to something with these how to videos.
Keep on keeping on !
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!
There a really good stove I can’t even remember how many years mine is old and I’ve still never had to replace the door seal. Love it
Nice! Glad to hear your Quadrafire is preforming well! What model do you have?
Jake..Dave is correct use the ash with water and a paper towel and you can get the real cake up build up that the ammonia or vinegar will leave behind. I just did my wood stove and pellet stove last week and have been burning all week!
I’ve tried the ash and water method! Definitely works well but I found it took a bit more effort in scrubbing than the ammonia 🤷🏼♂️
Great reminder!

Yep I’ve done the ash and water, works well for sure! I just found it to take more scrubbing effort than the ammonia 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your videos!
Thanks for watching Brett!
Wow that's the best working soot on glass remover I have seen. I gave up on trying to keep mine clean.
It really does work well, I’ve tried many different things. Most work, but not as effortlessly as ammonia.
Absolutely beautiful great job you did good
Very nice informative video! Thanks Jake!! -Tyler
Thanks for watching Tyler!
I spray the window with windex. Wet a couple paper towels and dip them in ash and then wipe the window. It works very well.
Try newspaper instead of paper towels. I don't know why but it works better. Wet newspaper with ashes gets most of the stuff off the glass then clean as usual.

Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely look into that spot to clean and for the replacement parts!
Jake, I clean my wood stove glass with the cleaner you would use to clean the glass on the stove top on your kitchen glass stove top for years since it came out.
Nice! How does it work for you George?
i use ash and wet paper towel. cleans glass well
Yep I’ve tried that!
To clean the glass, try degreaser cleaner in a spray bottle and wipe it off with a paper towel. It works great.
Hmm never heard of this, might have to try it out!
19:20 - 20:24 is the only part of the video worth watching
FYI, you should save that ash for winter time, it makes a great pet safe alternative for ice in your driveway
Yeah I do that or give it to my friend for his chickens 🐓
@@DudeRanchDIY what do chickens do with ash?

It is a Quadrafire 3100 ACT
@@DudeRanchDIY Thank you !!!!!
I'm halfway through the vid. I'm curious is that a Drolet stove? Looks very similar to what is in the house we are in the process of purchasing.
This is a Quadrafire 3100, if you go back in my videos I have some on a Drolet
Do you use a special filter in yer shop vac?thankz for the stove clean vid
I have a super fine particulate sleeve that I put on my filter when vacuuming the stove ash.
Does the stove top cleaner burn off with any odor ?
It’s polish and it has no scent
Where can you get the polish from?

Wood ashes and water works for cleaning glass.
Yep I’ve tried that in the past, I felt it took more effort than the ammonia 🤷🏼♂️
I tried the ammonia didn't work for me so I added ashes to it and came right off.
You know a good source for fire brick?
They sell it at my local hardware store, northlineexpress.com has a lot of stove parts.
@DudeRanchDIY thank you Iam guessing that true value here local would also have it in west virginia
