Has anyone ever removed the air wash tube and found sufficient Ash in the tube which affected the glass not staying clean? I doubt that much Ash can get in there but maybe I'm wrong? And is that air coming in through the outside air kit?
 
Hello
I have never removed the tube but blasting it out with an air compressor is the way I get All the ash out. It makes a difference!

Not to sound like a dummy but doesn't a lot of whatever is in there go back up the tube? Or is it just that long channel that gets blown out?
