NZ 26 ???????

[Chucknduck]

I have a new Napoleon nz 26 that I've been using pretty steady all winter. Want to clean the chimney. Need some info and tips from people who have this stove.
Do I need to remove the upper fire bricks and fire baffles when cleaning to allow soot to fall into stove? Or is there a way to avoid taking it all apart? Or should I take it apart to clean the area above the bricks?

I read the manual about removing the bricks. It's not very detailed could use some more detailed pics. Just don't want to screw anything up but don't want to pay to have it done. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing the baffle bricks will need to be removed. The first year I would pay a certified sweep to do this and ask him to show you how the bricks are removed and put back in place. The instructions look pretty good, but a little complicated. Be sure the sweep reads them first. The fiber parts may be somewhat fragile.

Ya I was contemplating getting a sweep to do it. Was thinking I would save some money myself since I'm unemployed for a month or so.

If you have the equipment and are patient and thorough then you should be ok. The main thing will be to follow the sequence. I would also take pictures and maybe notes along the way. These could be helpful then next time.

I will give them a call heat that's a good idea.

I'm gonna give re a go worst that happens is I screw it up and have to order parts.

Thanks for the info guys
