Cat glows in a weird pattern. Some of the "boxes" do not glow. Almost looks like burnt out light bulbs. Safe to say those "boxes/cells" are clogged?
Was going to use a pipe cleaner to ream them out. Anyone object to this or have a better way to clean?
 
As a followup-

I managed to get a small attachment for my vaccum (small brush) just fits between cat and front of stove. Vacuumed it out and now...WOW what a difference.

Will need to add this to a monthly regime.
 
Thanks for the reminder. I pulled out my cat this afternoon and it clearly needed a vaccum. Took all of 2 min to take out, walk outside, run the shop vac over and put it back in. Should notice a difference when I fire back up later this afternoon.
