How to Replace the Glass in Your Boru Stove (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you need to replace the glass in your Boru stove, it's important to do it safely and correctly. Whether your stove glass is cracked, cloudy, or completely shattered, installing the correct heat-resistant ceramic stove glass will restore both safety and efficiency.

In this guide, we explain how to change Boru stove glass step by step, what tools you need, and when to call a professional.

Why Boru Stove Glass Is Different

Boru stoves use ceramic glass, not standard household glass. This high-temperature glass:

• Withstands temperatures above 700°C

• Expands and contracts safely during heating

• Maintains clear fire visibility

• Supports proper combustion efficiency

⚠️ Important: Never use ordinary glass in a wood-burning stove. It will shatter under heat.

If your Boru stove glass is cracked or damaged, stop using the stove until it is replaced.

Tools & Materials Needed to Replace Boru Stove Glass

Before starting your Boru stove glass replacement, gather:

• Correct replacement Boru stove glass (model-specific)

• Heat-resistant rope gasket

• High-temperature stove sealant (if required)

• Screwdriver or spanner (often Torx or hex)

• Protective gloves

• Soft cloth or padded surface

Using the correct size and thickness of ceramic glass is essential for safety and warranty compliance.

Step 1: Allow the Stove to Cool Completely

Never attempt to change stove glass while the appliance is warm.

• Ensure the stove is fully cold

• Remove any remaining embers

• Wear protective gloves

Safety is the top priority during any stove repair.

Step 2: Remove the Boru Stove Door

Most Boru stove doors lift off easily:

1. Open the door fully

2. Lift upward gently

3. Place it on a protected surface

If your model differs, consult your Boru stove manual.

Step 3: Remove the Retaining Clips and Old Glass

The glass panel is secured by retaining clips or brackets.

• Carefully loosen screws

• Remove clips

• Take out damaged glass

• Remove old gasket material

If screws are tight due to heat expansion, apply penetrating oil and allow time before loosening.

Step 4: Install the New Boru Stove Glass

1. Fit new heat-resistant gasket rope (if required)

2. Position the ceramic glass panel

3. Reattach retaining clips

Do not overtighten screws. The glass must sit snugly but have room for heat expansion. Overtightening is one of the most common causes of cracked replacement stove glass.

Step 5: Reattach the Door

• Place the door back onto its hinges

• Check alignment

• Ensure an even seal around the frame

A proper seal improves stove efficiency and prevents air leaks.

Step 6: Perform a Small Test Burn

After replacing Boru stove glass:

• Light a small fire first

• Gradually bring the stove to temperature

• Check for leaks or movement

Avoid running a large fire immediately after installation.
