What should I do for the Summer Shutdown?

[Vic99]

Just completed my first season as a wood burner. What would make sense as far as summer cleaning etc.?

My plan right now is (not in order)

1) sweep the liner;

2) blow air into all of the secondary tubes and dog house,

3) remove all ash in firebox;

4) simple cleaning of glass and outside of stove.

Am I missing anything?

Stovepipe/chimney sweep & inspection. Graphite powder in hinges/pins. Check the door & glass gaskets. On my Liberty, I'm going to pull, disassemble, clean and graphite lubricate the damper assembly. Rick

I close the damper. I'll sweep when I get to it.

That's it.
