Not sure what stove you have but dis-assembly instructions can be found in most manuals.
Basically, you open it up.
Mark the wires/connections on both blowers/fans (Convection and combustion) Then remove them.
While out and in a dirty area (ie. not living room) use compressed air to blow the blades/motors clean. Use a small wire brush or old toothbrush to clean off any clumped up dirt. If a solvent is needed I use CRC Electronic contact cleaner on the convection blower blades and both motors. And carburetor cleaner on the blades (ONLY) of the combustion fan.
While blowers are out use a vacuum to clean the entire exhaust path inside the stove. Lube them if required with appropriate oil.
Remove your exhaust vent from the stove and run a vent brush up and down it.
Check/clean/replace any gasket areas.
Re-assemble
Good to go.
Not much magic in a pellet stove.
Plan on 2 hours and lots of soot.
Good Luck,
