My question is: can the dog house on a Mansfield be cleaned or is it not necessary,I'm concerned it may fill with ash. this is our first season with this stove so we are still learning, I'm not even sure if "dog house" is even the correct term for the box in the front with the two holes in the rear for air but this is what installer called it and they have been less than helpful. We love the stove and has done a good job so far,however i would like to see longer burn times 6hrs. is about it then its about out. Thanks for any tips
