Do I need to take the whole blower out of the stove to clean it? or is there a way to just take the fan out and clean it?

There is a Combustion Motor Gasket (Part # PU-CMG), which allows you to remove the motor from the Combustion Blower housing, clean your stove, and replace the motor and gasket without having to remove the entire Combustion Blower. If cleaning your blower, the blower impeller, blower tube and steel blower exhaust tube on the unit should be brushed and vacuumed.
From page 14 of the manual for your stove.

so I will need a new gasket before checking it. The stove is refurbished and I have only burned about 10-12 bags. Wanted to check blowers to make sure my low heat wasn't caused by dirty blowers.

Always have a new gasket on hand when separating parts with gaskets, if you are very careful and use a sharp penknife you can frequently reuse a gasket. Once a gasket is torn it rarely will remain airtight. It must be airtight, you don't want smoke and other nasty (and deadly) things in your house.
