I have a Harman Accentra insert with a zero clearance box. I have a 3 inch stove pipe that runs directly from the stove through the zero clearance box up 6 feet through the roof of my garage and extends past the roof 3 feet. i bought a soot eater brush with the extensions so i can brush it from the roof. I was wondering if i need to pull the stove out or if i can brush the pipe with the stove in place. I have two 45degree bends in the stove pipe so i dont think brushing it will be a problem just not sure if i need to remove the stove and block off the pipe so no dust goes back into the stove or just brush it and then use the leaf blower trick from the top to remove all the ash?i am going to try and add a picture of the zero clearance box from the back
thanks
