This might not actually be a problem, but I remember the glass in my fireplace insert. It was a high-temperature, high-efficiency (for the mid-90s) unit, and we used it all the time. The cleaning of the glass door had to happen every month at a minimum, or else the flames would be a vague hint of orange behind the soot.
Would soot not accumulate on the glass at the top of the riser, or would the combustion have be so complete as to not be able to deposit soot?
Or is this an issue solved by being able to take the glass top off of the riser to clean?
