i just brought my new-to-me 7 year old Accentra insert home last night, and spent much of today in my garage going over it, and giving it a thorough cleaning. My experience with Harman stoves so far is limited to my 21 year old Invincible T, but I can definitely see many of the same design elements present in the Accentra.
However, one thing that the Accentra doesn't share with the Invincible, and that concerns me a bit, is the combustion air channel that runs across the bottom back of the stove. It connects the 2 channels that run straight back from the front, and which can be cleaned with the small brush that came with the stove. Unlike these 2 front-to-back tubes, the one across the rear seems to be completely inaccessible. It seems to me that over time this passage will become clogged with ash and there's no way to clean it. Am I missing something? Is this a common design on all newer Harman stoves?
