I have a Harman XXV with a horizontal vent that goes through the ceiling and roof. The pitch on the roof is so steep it is not safe to clean from top down.

Is there a way to clean or brush the pipe from bottom up without removing the stove or disconnecting the pipe?

Would I be able to brush up by removing the combustion fan?

Please let me know.

Do you have a t at back of stove or a 90.if you have a clean out t then just remove the cap and have at it from there. If it's a 90 of the back of the stove then you will have to expose the exhaust path on the inside of the stove and I would highly recommend removing the esp from the exhaust before you start. While you have it out clean it with some windex before reinstalling

Thanks I have the selkirk cleanout pipe T. but only the vacuum attachment will fit on it. Currently I hook shop vac to it and bang on the pipe.
 
You may have to remove the clean out vacuum T cap..and push the brush up..
