Toy stuck in Harman heat exchange/blower area

[Jcroteau]

Hi- Wondering if anyone can help. Harman (P43?) stove. Son decided to put a plastic toy drumstick (maybe other toys too!) in the front heat exchange vent area where the air blows out. I don't have a ton of money and would prefer not to call in a specialist for this issue but I cannot seem to figure out how to open that part of the stove. The only screws I see anywhere are where the hopper connects to the stove itself. Any ideas?

I'm at work but this picture is identical to the model we have

That part of the stove doesn't open. I'd try some double sided tape on a wire like a coat hanger and go fishing.

I like the fishing idea. You could also try tipping it and see what falls out.

Have a shop vac? (might work with just a good household vacuum too) Maybe some duct tape to attach some smaller flexible hose if needed?
Or compressed air with a long flexible wand to blow it out?
If you are more inclined to go fishing, some real sticky double sided tape on that coat hanger might give an advantage...
