Time of the year to blow out the pellet stovies! Show your vids :-)

Hello

Anyone have their vids or pics?

Got the Leaf Blower adapter to Selkirk DT or 4" pellet stove venting.

Then I got the 3" reducer with adjustable slip on, for the 3" pipe in the shed.

My stove has been cleaned out and shut down for a month.

My stove has been cleaned out and shut down for a month.

I am cleaning stoves all summer!
Then some of the stoves need repairs and one stove needs the install corrected!

How well does that work? How much ash is left afterwards?

It gets all the loose ash so it is still good to brush. If you brush the fire box with the leaf blower running then all the ash goes outside!

Always brush first, then use the leaf blower to suck out all the ash. Easy!

I took a piece of pool noodle, slit it lengthwise and stuck it around the edge of the vacuum tube on my leaf blower. Then I pressed it up against the plate on the wall the vent pipe runs through (I think they call it a thimble...) using the pool noodle as a gasket. Worked okay. I think I may have lost some vacuum between the pipe and thimble.
