I took the time to clean the chimney from the Ash Cyclone on the Wood Gun to the clean out just outside the house. Was glad I did. Had a little build up of ash in that, oh, six foot section of pipe. I don't like any build up. That was basically a result of a plugged cyclone cone I had a while back. I try to keep an eye on that as often as possible. Seems to happen more when burning the White Pine slab wood as apposed to the hard wood. I was able to clean up the chimney a ways with a tool I have and then put it all back together again. Reseal the two connections I have left where I disconnect it from and let the high temp caulk dry overnight. I will clean the boiler itself again in a few days and start moving wood under the covered porch every chance I get. It is getting to that time of year to get the whole supply of wood in under the porch. I will have my chimney guy come over and do the whole chimney later in November before the heavier snow starts to come. Then have him clean again in February or March. Getting a little rain now. Next week the temperatures will be dipping into the low 30s. A little heat demand will be coming soon.
