Equinox 8000

[calstrin]

I've had my Equinox 8000 stove in my place for over 10 years and I bought the house with it already installed so I can't be certain how old it is. We use it as our main heating source in Colorado throughout the winter.

I was curious if I should be concerned about the secondary air tubes and if they should be cleaned or inspected? I have searched everywhere for instructions on how to remove these but I haven't been able to find anything.

I've attached a photo of my current tubes. Yes I have the ceramic baffle removed.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
Chris

Secondary tubes usually only need a visual inspection. Air comes out of them which helps keep the ports clean. Check for any cracking, splitting, or ruptures and replace if found. Other than that one can vacuum surface dust if desired, but it's not required.

From the picture, these look ok.

This is great information to know. Thank you

That big rock of a stove is a beauty. Pictures are welcome.
