The old standard has always been ashes in a sock, slightly dampened. I would not use any soaps because you would then need to clean the entire unit...

Check with wood burning stove dealers. We tried a lot of things,but finally got a product from them and it work great

I just have to wonder why manufacturers put glass doors in smokers. By the end of one good 8-14 hour smoke, you won’t be able to see it anyways.

Since there's food involved I'd use this...... The old standard has always been ashes in a sock, slightly dampened. I would not use any soaps because you would then need to clean the entire unit... or this.... 0000 steel wool and a little vinegar/water mix for me too.

Because I have always cleaned wood stove door glass the old fashioned way I have not tried steel wool, but I would be afraid of scratching the glass that way.

I was thinking about the food involved more than scratching the glass but I clean the soot off of my wood stove's window with a piece of newspaper when I build a new fire so what do I know.

I do the same Charlie. Newspaper removes a lot of soot.

Seen lots of videos of vehicle window cleaning using 0000 steel wool and whatever flavor of the day solvent. I wouldn't worry about the glass with fine steel wool.

I just have to wonder why manufacturers put glass doors in smokers. By the end of one good 8-14 hour smoke, you won’t be able to see it anyways. Plus the windows waste a ton of heat compared to insulated sides and doors. Honestly, I clean the racks, the bottom tray that runs the fat to the pan, the pan, and the very bottom. The door, sides, and top, not so much.

I've used all kinds of expensive cleaners, but the best thing I finally discovered was using full strength white vinegar and than cleaning it off with paper towels. I couldn't believe how easily the soot came off!

Ashes when dampened ooze lye which is what cleans the glass. It actually does a great job, quickly.
The inks on newsprint are soy oil based. It is the superthin layer of oil that makes the cleaned windows look so good.
