It's too bad that most dealers fail to stress how important that is. Doing a really good cleaning after a ton is not good enough, in most cases. The stove may run, but it runs a heck of a lot better when it's cleaned regularly.

I just finished my weekly cleaning but skipped it last week so it had been two weeks since I had cleaned it. just had twice the ash. I'm starting to wonder if I can go two weeks between cleanings from now on. I'd still do the thorough cleaning and vent cleaning every 30-40 bags.
 
I think it looks so much better after a good cleaning too. I enjoy the light it puts off. Who needs a Christmas tree with that going all the time. ;lol
 
so by good cleaning are you cleaning the motors and such as that or just the inside real good?
 
Thanks! Two more days and I get mine..

Always my favorite fire... Of course I do it daily so it's self indulging.
 
I took advantage a warmer day and cleaned mine Start the new year with a clean stove ;) and a cold beer!

I clean mine whenever it's cold or every 4 days sometimes a week. Erring on the side of cleaning. I am fairly new to using a pellet stove but it does seem to work better clean. It this the same as a clean car runs better?? LOL
 
......but it does seem to work better clean. It this the same as a clean car runs better?? LOL

LOL It sure does seem that way, doesn't it? Bottom line, regardless what you "think", keep it clean. Clean stove=happy stove (and wife and kids, if you have 'em).
 
kids and GF. She loves the pellet stove. Maybe I should keep this one.
 
I clean mine every 3 or 4 days, more than it needs. But, it runs like a top, and I feel better knowing it's clean and happy.
