Preparing the Wood Stove for Door Removal
I can begin preparing the wood stove for door removal by carefully cleaning the stove’s surface and removing any debris. Before I start, I ensure that the stove is cool and not in use.
Using a soft cloth, I gently wipe the stove’s surface to remove any dirt or dust. This step is essential to prevent any particles from getting inside the stove during the door removal process.

Now, let’s move on to reassembling the door and the final steps.
