Last year, I had installed a quadrafire Explorer II stove in my fireplace. It is a rear top mounted stovepipe that connects to a two foot piece of accordion stovepipe which then connects to 20 feet of chimney liner. There is very little room to do anything in the back and I can't figure out how to collect the debris once I brush from above. It appears the stovepipe connects to a separate chamber in the back and there is no apparent connection to the main firebox where i thought I could collect and dispose the debris. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
It sounds like the easiest thing may be to disconnect the liner at the flue collar, then slide the stove forward temporarily.

How is the Explorer II working out so far?
