Is there anyway to keep the glass clear on my stove door? I have taken good care to clean it doing just what LL told me and it still looks milky.
Is there a after market brand out there that sells a better glass?
Thanks

I am using the Wood'nCoal method.

I picked up the wax at Benny's but Dean may have it.
I did mine from the start, so time will tell if it prevents the etching.
I have reapplied it with my fingers leaving a heavy coat, then wipe slightly to level a little and close the door. Cleans up decent with water and a towel after that.

The stock LL glass (well actually stove glass is clear ceramic), is as good a quality as you will find. They all get hazed at some point and start cracking eventually. Robax and Neoceram are a couple of the brand names you can buy, depending on how hot you run the stove they last 3-5 years before cracking and usually haze over in the first year. Alaska stove company tried using a metal screen material to prevent the hazing and cracking, not sure how well it works.
One idea is to clean it as often as you can stand while cool and use Rutland white out to polish it. More ideas here:

We all like clear glass so we can watch the blue ladies dance.

I waxed mine from the beginning and after a couple of days with just washing it down with a wet paper towel it fogged up on me. I just now used the back scrubby part of a 3m scrub sponge on the glass and it removed all the fog after scrubbing and wiping off with a wet paper towel a few times it's pretty much clear right now.

I wet a cloth then wring it out so it is just damp then dip a corner of it in baking soda and scrub the glass then rinse with a clean wet cloth ------works so far. I think maybe the baking soda counteracts the acid in the coal residue.
