Bought a package of fine dust filters for my 14 gal Shopvac then went to work.
Checked/cleaned the auger motor and circulation fan under the back shield.
Temp sensor and pipe looked good. Very little dust.
Removed the cover on the burnpot and vacuumed the buildup out.
Checked all air holes for blockage. Looked good
I clean/scrape the burn pot about twice a week(Carbon Buildup) and do a complete cleaning when the ash pan is 2/3 full.
Looks like we will be hitting single digits next week. Accuweather

Love the stove, heat from it and of course this forum!!
Always a great source of info and humor!

Thanks!

There are no ash traps unless the reference is to all areas not obvious to the eye.
My stove is quite easy to clean except trying to clean out back. (A corner install)
