My stove would be at the bottom of a lake somewhere if I had to clean it every day or 2.
I clean the stove when the ash pan is full, depending on pellets thats .5 to 1.5 tons and usaully every 2-4 weeks, the stove does not get shut down inbetween. I do scrape the pot daily and maybe scrape heat exchanger once a week.
I've burned about 10 tons over 2 seasons with no issues this way.
What a hassle it would be to clean everyday, not to mention you would loose 10% + of total usage to go thru shut down, cool down, clean, and startups. wow.
