You can clean the chimney without removing it but if you're doing a thorough job at the end of the season removing it is the way to go. It doesn't take more than about 5 minutes to do and it's easy to reinstall.

thanks tmonter,i was a bit concerned that those allen screws would break trying to get them out,after being exposed to all that heat

Its amazing how those things hold up. The screws are actually SS and quite thick. I have worked on a units that have been run hard for 5 years and the things still come out without much of a fight. Be careful with the baffle, its one of those sturdy but fragile items. If you drop it or smack it on something you can break it in half easily.
