Can someone dumb this down for me?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY

Exactly how much does this patent cover?

Does it basically cover any heated glass method? I mean if I wanted to create a heated glass product that had the glass covered in a metal, and two rods on the sides, would this be against the law? As in they are the only ones allowed to make heated glass?

You should definitely consult a patent attorney before moving forward with your plans. The reason is because there are often fine distinction that allow one to use a seemingly propriety process without legal incident. In this case, the patent covers only making glass encased metal through this method, however, that doesn't mean that others are prohibited from making a similar product using a different method.
