    Hello

    Just took the iron FireBrick out and as I suspeceted the traps were loaded with pellet ash!

    I used the shop vac and shop vac ash trap cleaner attachment to vac up the dust.

    Just wondering if anyone does anything else to get way down into the traps?

    Pellet dust ???? All I've ever seen in the traps behind things is ash and critter leavings. Did someone blow pellet fines into the exhaust on that stove?

    Hi Smokey
    Thanks for the correction, I changed that to pellet ash.
