Hi all,
The season to burn is coming, so I thought I would need to do some clean up. Here are some questions I have being this the first time I get to re-use my stove.
1. Stove was in basement the whole year, and it does get a bit humid downstairs. I noticed that anything I could not remove from last year's burning got a brownish color inside the burning chamber. Should i be concerned about rust or anything like that? I mean, it will burn once again and i assume that should "clear up" some of the rust, but should i scrape it off with some brass brush?
2. Cleaning up the exhaust blower.. i removed the 4 butterfly screws but the thingy is rather glue to the housing.. should i pry it off with a flat tool? or is there a better way to do this? should i seal it again with some thermal silicon?
Thoughts?
