Hi,
I recently bought a home that has a Trailblazer pellet stove. I know absolutely NOTHING about these stoves (my first house). I was thinking it might be worthwhile to hire someone to service it - clean it out, make sure it works, etc. And, to show me how it works - of course, like many others, I do not have a manual. I don’t even know how to turn it on, light it or use it. There are actually some pellets still in the top - I guess that is the hopper. And there is a lot of ash at the bottom when I open the front door. Those of you who recommend vacuuming, do you use a shop vac or just a regular home vac?
Any advice to get going? It is snowing today and it is bound to get colder soon, and it is the only source of heat in the family room - the main room I use for tv, work, and just lounging about.
I appreciate all advice.
Nancy
