I got called out to do a annual cleaning. Obviously installed by the prior homeowner. Complaint was slow to ignite. I dropped igniter down and cleaned the packed ash out of it, scraped burn pot and cleaned to interior of the stove. Flue tee was nearly impossible to get to. Plus it was glued on with red silicone and a near 90 deg. bend in liner im sure would not allow rod to go around. I checked draft and it checked out perfect. Stove lit like a champ. I advised that we move stove to the corner and vent out the side wall. The rear of the stove is not serviceable!
I agree with the looks. Not able to be serviced in current position. Im not even sure that the shields can be removed from the back let alone be able to see anything behind it. And that stove is way to heavy to be pulling in and out to work on it. Plus the legs can break if you are dragging it around.
