Sometime in the wee hours I heard a fairly distinct "clank"...I was too lazy to get up to see what it was but in the morning I saw what looked like a 10" build-up of ash on my stove's glass door.
Turned out the upper baffle inside the stove fell out of it's bracket and slid down the front of the stove... after walking past the stove a few times i shut it down, let it cool and opened it up...voila! never saw that before.
Since I was going to get dirty anyway, I got out the leafblower, hammer (to bang on the walls of the firebox) and vacuum and cleaned the darn thing.
We're back on-line and staying cozy... pretty EZ 'cuz the weather guru is predicting 50's all this weekend and into next week...
