I was wondering if any of the Harmen owners out there have noticed a bunch of ash build up in the stove pipe and in their clean out?

after burning for a week I did a cleaning just to see how things were looking, and I didnt see anything in the pipe. What stove do you have, whats the venting setup (horizontal or vertical) and is this a new instalation or a new symptom in an older setup?

What do you consider a lot of ash?
I clean the pipe at the end of the season and get very little
As Jester mentioned, we need more details to answer your question better

I have a Harman P38 haven't fired it up yet.....I was just wondering if there is typically any amout of ash build up. I was thinking that with the large ash pan that the Harmans have that the ash build up should be minimal (as long as the pan is cleaned on a regular basis).
My set up is 6” out of stove a Clean out T, then 12-15’ of vertical pipe, I have a Ceiling Support at the ceiling and then a pipe support bracket in the attic then Flashing Cone, Storm Collar, and finally the pipe cap, All in 3”. I am looking at (according to standard calcs) 11.5-13’ of total distance that I have to run the pipe from stove exhaust to outside.

You just described my setup to a T. The only difference is that I have 4" all the way up and out. If we were burning the same pellets it'd be interestign to see if there's any kind of difference between the 3 and 4" pipe
