I'm curious what all you Harman folks use to clean the accordion style heat exchangers in your harmans? The tool they give you is such a pain in the ass to use. There has to be a better way. I can go a month without cleaning the stove but I find I have to give the accordion surface a cleaning once a week or so to keep the heat output decent, otherwise it burns too many pellets to keep up with the room temp.
I've been using a wire brush because a paint brush really isn't stiff enough to do a good job, but the shape of any normal wire brush really doesn't fit in the grooves right, so it takes some work to get at all the angles.
I'd like to find a cone shaped brush of the right size.. something like the attached pic... but wire bristles with a stiff handle, possibly able to be attached to a drill. Haven't been able to find one yet.
Just wondering what everyone else does?
