Going into my 3rd season with Harman XXV. Happy with the stove. I replaced a wood burning stove and have never looked back. I also bought the top vent adapter which converts the exhaust port to a 6" round tube. I then used this to hook up to my existing 6" tube stainless lined chimney. I have not had any sort of venting problems.
My question is on how frequent I should get the vertical part of the chimney swept? It is about 20-25' feet high above the shelf going through the wall.
Every season I have completely disassembled the inside pipes, cleaned them and the shelf. This just leaves the vertical run. The pellets have to produce a lot less buildup than a wood stove, and I was wondering if the vertical run should be swept every year. I run the XXV constantly from Nov-Feb.
I got it done after the 1st season, it seemed like the chimney sweep had a easy time and kinda flustered a little when I asked him how bad it was, which he said was moderate.
Thanks
