BK customer service is amazing. Chris, who posts here as BKVP, has gone above and beyond to address the problems I've had with my Ashford. At this point, the dealer is coming on Tuesday to pull it out. We're shipping it back to Blaze King (at their expense) for testing. If it can be fixed (or if they can't find anything wrong), it will get shipped back to me. Otherwise, they'll replace it.

Chris worked with me and with my dealer all through the burn season to address this. Can't say enough about this company. They make great stoves and really stand behind them.

On a separate note, as long as my stove's out of the way, may as well clean the flue. Does anyone have a link for the kind of brush and attachments I'll need. It's a 6 inch metal pipe that runs 26 feet into the air. Can't get it from the top because it's sitting out in mid-air like a flagpole. When I went online looking, I got really confused with the different sized brushes, some made for masonry, some for metal and the poles that screw on or otherwise attach.
 
Glad to hear BK is looking after you. Let us know what they find....

As to flue brushes and rods, you could try a search or just wait long enough and someone will give you better specifics. I'm no help as I have pellet venting that's 3' straight shot out;)
 
Brushes and rods are in the aisle in the back at Lowe's.
 
You just need a 6" round poly brush and enough rods to reach the top. Make the sure the cap is clean too.
Blaze King does do an amazing job with customer service! Chris always gets the credit, but Jennifer does a pretty awesome job too! ;) They make a good team!

Make sure you buy the nylon brush, the metal brush can poke holes in the inside wall of a metal chimney
 
You could look at a sooteater too. I just recently put mine into service and my old brush and rods will be retired.
 
The Rutland metal brushes fit sorta snug enough to do a decent job, but I'm not sure how they would poke holes in a class A chimney. They take off the normal flaky stuff, but any glaze would require other measures.

I've spoken to Jennifer several times, and she's always been very courteous and helpful.

It's not likely they will poke holes in the pipe, although possible I guess. Manufacturers don't recommend it, it supposedly can cause corrosion from the steel scraping the stainless.
I just don't see any reason for anything more than a poly brush when it comes to insulated stainless.
 
Does anyone have a link to a good brush and rods that would work for my stovepipe? It seems there are so many options and I find it confusing.
