my stove does not seem to heat up as much as before it is in my basement wich is 22x24 and has a separator 9in the room where the stove is is 11x24 the room is cold. sometime the blower fan needs oiling before it turns full speed is it possible that there is a blockage why the heat is not coming out as much as before or could it be just a fan

How long has the stove been installed and last full cleaning? The stoves are pretty simple but are needy in the cleaning dept with a back wall that's a pain to properly clean and that's where the leaf blower trick really shines.

If you have a manual they should have some detail on the cleaning. Have you the manual or tried to download one?
Heres a copy for starters.

Many videos on youtube of the use of a leaf blowers suction to suck a stove clean from the outside venting. I use the process on a very regular basis on harder to clean stoves to get and keep them cleaner than any brush or vacuum from inside can ever hope to do.
