Hello, I have a Jotul F400 stove (that I love and live by). I can go up on my roof and clean/sweep the chimney, but there's a second step a friend told me about of removing a piece inside the stove to release all the soot that came down from the sweeping of the pipe. Could someone please guide me on how to do this?

Many thanks!!
 
Search for threads or posts my me I have a step by step procedure. I can’t locate right now. Bad internet
 
The top on the Castine is gasketed and designed to be removed for maintenance like flue cleaning. The bolts that hold it down are primarily for shipping.
