    Cracked glass on woodstove a mystery!

    My stove glass cracked this morning. Bumping this thread to show how awesome the AS community is to provide help. Now that I know my stove "glass" is ceramic, I have no worries until I get it replaced. https://chimneysweeponline.com/howindow.htm

    new TM, not happy with center of gravity.

    I've been climbing on a Weaver modded to have a rope bridge. Mods by me, nobody else uses it! My center of gravity is nearly to my crotch with good pull on the upper thighs. Feels good. New TM...
