I didn't they recomended you taking them apart. I looked in the manual but i couldn't find where it says either way. I just vacume the top out after removing the pipe.

Look closely at the sides of the stove up next to where the top sits on it. There is an Allen screw in each side that holds the top on. Remove the one on each side and the top lifts off.

thanks for sharing....didn't know about that and nice to know. My top on my VC large with cat came off easily and i took it often to vacume out or clean out the combustor. nice to know the top on the jotul comes off too.

Just like BB said. I am pretty sure it takes a metric hex key though. I took mine off two weeks ago.
Be careful to put it back on just like you took it off. Lots of evidence of them not re-seating right and giving you an air leak above the baffle.
Easier just to clean out on top of the baffle through the flue collar after you take off the pipe.

It might be better to put it back on without the allen screws. Just let it sit on top, it's gasketed. Check for level to be sure it is seated squarely and then let it rip.
