I have a XXV with a Selkirk vent pipe with a Vacuum T-clean out the vents straight up through the roof. The T is at the base of the vent pipe. Is there a way to get a brush in to clean vent pipe with out going up on roof. I clean stove weekly and put the vacuum hose on the T nipple clean out. Now I have gone thru a ton and want to make sure the vent pipe is clean also.

Looking for ideas. Thanks
 
I'm thinking most the ash build-up will be around that vacuum t. Pulling the combustion blower would allow you to clean between the t and the blower (spare gasket likely required). I'm sure others would chime in...
 
I'm thinking that the only way to do it is to remove the clean out cap and push it up through or like on a previous post, from the roof down..
