Given how the exhaust looked I would give the stove a thorough cleaning and then use a leaf blower. All of which should be done after burning season ends.

Hello and thanks again for helping last season. The stove was fully cleaned and put away for the summer. Today I received the Cleveland Air Intake kit with 3" hose. A pretty nice kit overall for only $55. Got it all installed along with a new gasket on the exhaust mating surface. Gonna fire it up for the first time today as my tiny wife is freezing like a popsicle. Hopefully better burning results this time!
