The stove I bought has something that feels like plexi glass in place of where the glass should go on the door.
The guy I bought it from said it was pyrex. But when I tap on it it feels and sounds like plexi...
Anyone know what it is?

That must be what it is. It has a strange crazing look when looking from an angle.

Here's a pic of Robax glass I liked--torch on one side, cold water poured on the other side. No breakage. It's good to ~1400* F

It would be cool to make a stove with large window areas of this stuff on the front, sides and back.

There are a couple of stoves made with a 'Bay Window' front,, like half a hexagon. Harman and Keystoker I think??

Mica is usually thin, like 1/16 of an inch or less and looks and is flexible like plastic and can be cut with scissors.
How thick is the "plastic"?

I've never seen mica that thick but I guess it could be? Is it flexible?
I think you may have posted what stove you have in another thread but I can't remember. If you post it here maybe some one has the same one and can help with this.
