Spent the afternoon REALLY cleaning the little guy.

[ChandlerR]

I decided that I would do a cleaning like I have never done so when you guys ask me how well I cleaned it, I can say I REALLY cleaned it.
I removed all the piping and then a buddy and I brought the stove outside where I disassembled it and literally turned it upside down and got every speck of ash and soot out of it and all the piping. I blew compressed air through the little hole I drilled last year and removed all the fans, auger, and anything else that would come out. I put it all back together and we brought it back in and hooked it all up and did a test fire. Runs like new. Bring on the cold!
Thanks for the tips Don. If I can get back to work, I will do a couple upgrades

I would like to say that I don't want to hear the wife whining this winter when the stove's all choked up with soot, but it would be me that would whine. She is always hot, and I am always cold...

A clean stove is a happy, warm, and safe stove.
