Hi All
An older guy i know has a Aspen 175...
He never cleaned the tubes on it,and was delivered greenish wood.
Has anyone ever had vertical tubes that were completely plugged,and how did you get them clean?
The horizontal tubes have been cleaned out,but he hasn't found a way to get the vertical ones clean.
He made a tool that would cut and chew through the horizontal tubes,but no way to use that tool on the vertical ones.
Ideas? Tips for cleaning?
Thanks Thomas
