just saw a video on youtube for cleaning a harman....in the video the guy takes out the ash pan and cleans out the stove collar and clean out T from inside with a pipe brush. My question is, isn't the ESP probe inside this collar and if it is, won't pushing the brush through damage this?
Harman cleaning video.......need clarification

Not sure about the P43 setup, but on my XXV I can get at the probe
after taking off the back panels where the blowers are.
No pipes removed

I clean/vac out the stove once a week but do a full clean after every ton
burned which includes the vent & esp. Blowers get checked too but
don't usually need cleaning till the end of the season.
Keeps the stove running at peak performance.

Can you post a link to the video you watched? I would be interested in watching it, I have a P61A and am always looking for new things on it to clean.
go to youtube.com and in the search box type in harman pellet stove cleaning video, and you will see a few of themBigjim13 said:
I use a long narrow refrigerator cleaning brush, and clean that square exhaust vent every time I empty the ash pan, and I don't find it necessary to remove that esp probe. As long as you are careful, the probe can get brushed off, and clean your vent at the same time. I brush and vac that port repeatedly with the probe left in and have never had a problem.
