Pellet stove: The chalice on my pellet stove get dirty so nifty after cleaning. What can I do to prevent this? I have tried different types of cleaners and adjust air flow.

Answers: There can be various reasons for this. The first is that your stove is not on the same wavelength to operate effectively where you own it installed. This can be the result of things like nouns mix, the total height of the stovepipe or the stovepipe not extending lofty enough above your roof (which effects draw), have too many angles contained by your stovepipe installation, and the altitude at which you live (I used to live at 6,500' elevation, my pellet stoves didn't operate properly when adjusted to the factory-recommended settings or the settings recommended by the installer whose business be at the 4,000' elevation).
The second factor is the quality of the pellet you are burning -- pellets are grade as standard or premium, always buy "premium" pellet -- they produce less ash.

Not adjectives pellets produce duplicate amount of heat -- when you are buying pellet choose the "premium" pellets next to the highest BTU ratings -- they burn hotter (giving you more heat) and produce smaller number ash.
Read the label on the pellet you buy -- if the pellets contain adhesive (to hold the pellets together) those adhesive may vaporize in the fire and incentive a build-up on the glass.
Pellets that enjoy gotten damp crumble. If you overt a bag of pellet and find lots of "sawdust" you shouldn't put the "sawdust" in your pellet stove, it doesn't burn effectively and can clog the auger contraption. Once you've disposed of the "sawdust" check the pellets, if you can crumble them next to your fingers, don't put them in your stove.
If your pellet stove is relatively bright, it probably has an igniter. If it doesn't, watch out about what you use to start your fires. My pellet stoves didn't enjoy igniters so I used a commercial firestarter made from shaved wood. When I rented out the house, one of my tenants used lighter fluid made for a charcoal cooker -- it undermined the stove and caused a sanctuary problem because the thin soft drained through the pellets into the ash drawer and ignite (explosively) when hot ashes started to fall into the drawer,
Here's a tip for cleaning your stove -- past you put any type of liquid on the chalice, place several layers of out-of-date newspaper on the floor directly below the open stove door, hold a large dry paintbrush and sweep the pane and the inside of the door. Much of the build-up on the window may be ash and it will brush bad easily. I also brushed down the inside of the firebox on my stoves (when they be cool) and brushed the ashes into the burn pot which I then empty.
Good luck!
I don't think here is anything to prevent it. Just clean it more commonly.
