Moved the pictures into your main thread. It doesn't look to bad at this end. Is this after brushing or before?
There's no need to take the baffle apart. Just give it a good brush off or vacuuming.

....Or you can take it outside and blow it out with compressed air, if you have a compressor. There won't be much in there, it's mostly clean, hot air that flows through the passages in the baffle.
Thanks, didn't realize I could attach/post pics in this thread. Didnt see the 'attach' function (ill look around for it, but im not seeing it so far).
Those pics are pre-clean.
Post clean, there is a big difference. I got nearly a whole burn box full of soot out (maybe 3/4's hard to tell).
Thanks again for the info. Its a warm day here today, but its starting to drop, so will light a fire in the next few hours.

Sounds like most of the build up was at the top where the pipe is colder. That's pretty typical.
If you use the Fast Reply button, you won't see the Attach option for pictures. It's only there when you either start a thread, Quote another thread or when you click on the Post Reply button.
Fire is buring really well right now, really really great.
Good to know, ill use the 'post reply' and post some follow-up pics (soon) if thats of any interest to anyone(?). But suffice it to say, the pipe is cleaner.
