Hey guys. Many people on here have been very nice and helpful to me. So here's a tip that maybe somebody could use... If you're tired of spending $80 every time your glass breaks on your stove, do this. Drill and tap four 1/4-20 holes in your load door and affix 1/8 plate steel as such. It cost $40, and its fixed for good!! As well, the stove will retain a little more heat to boot.

A glass door is one of the nicer features of modern stoves. You can see the condition of the fire at a glance plus I enjoy looking at it. If the glass is breaking repeatedly I would suspect it is not mounted properly.

Ditto on that Richard. Going on my 4th year with my 50-93 glass--yes, it takes some effort to clean & change gasket (not yet) but, it sure is nice seeing the ladies strut their stuff.

The glass radiates as much heat as a piece of tin I would suspect.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, fellas. Look, all I was trying to do was save a fella a few bucks if he doesn't care what his stove looks like. In these economic times, function and price will trump pretty every time. LOL

Not in MY house, with my live-in interior designer.

Find an artistic high school student, have him/her paint some red coals and blue flames on the steel plate. Or have him paint a wood fire to remind you of all the work you save with coal. Functional AND pretty. Sort of like the fish-tank screen savers for your computer.

Lol!!!!! Gotta love the spousal unit. My stove is in my man-cave (what used to be called a basement). I told my wife that in this area, you'll not decorate or begin sentences with the following phrases: wanna, needa, or canya. Consequently, she stays upstairs. Hahahaha

Supposedly, Alex Lifeson is like a 3rd cousin of mine. I have relatives that live in Toronto. I haven't met him. I guess he had a really long, hard-to-pronounce Serbian last name (like mine) and changed it to Lifeson many years ago...

One of those names where we just want to say, "Come on, guy, buy a vowel"

Exactly, Bob.

Years ago Bob and Ray did a satire of a popular radio show that interviewed people in Grand Central Station. So they approach a person and ask him his name. He answers, "I can't really tell you because nobody in my family has been able to pronounce it so we just say Smith".
