Burning season is coming to an end here. My old insert had a fire box completely covered with fire bricks that didn't need to be cleaned at the end of a burning season.
This year I have an insert that has a firebox that is 3/4ths covered with fire bricks. The rest is steel and is covered with black sooty like 'dust'. Don't know if I can just leave it as it isn't a danger to anything or if it should be brushed out. Seems like brushing it out would get rid of it but it would be back as soon as I build another fire....
