Looking good. About time for a good cleaning with LBT before those pesky rear passages start to plug.
 
Leaf blower trick. Attach to outside venting with the stove door open, vacuum switch hose disconnected and let rip. Manual should show the panels behind firebox. If you stay on the program will only need to be cleaned after season. Lake Girl can give more tips. The only negative I have found about the stoves is that they need a bit more attention to cleaning.

The blower on sale and the adapters was less than $50. Well worth the it. The caramels in the picture were from a stove that owner had a stuck exhaust fan.
 
Just did my cleaning and wanted to show another member of the family loving are Harman p35i :)

I gave my mother in law a black & decker that had a leaf bag. may be able to convert it.
I have removed the back firebox plate and cleaned back there x 2 so far ;)

Elenas have two plates. Next time I am back there I am going to change the screws to thumb screws. Clean stove is a happy stove. You see a lot of problems by incomplete service-cleaning.
 
Oh well I didn't know we needed animal endorsement. Here is one of our 3 dogs, Rugerimage.jpg
 
Oh that poor distribution fan:)

Mt Vernon AE installed in Oct 2013. My wife and I are loving the new stove. It keeps our 3000 sq ft house at comfortable temps even thru the polar vortex temps.
