I have a fairly new Pacific Energy wood stove insert, and it appears to have been installed very well.
I'm wondering if there is some regular maintenance that I should be doing either on a weekly or monthly basis during the burning season.
I of course already remove the ashes when they pile up too much and make sure the air vents are clear.
Also, I'm willing to clean the pipe in the chimney in the Spring, but I can't figure out where the ashes will end up if I do brush it.
The stove doesn't have an obvious opening to the chimney and of course weighs a ton, so I'm not going to mess with it.
Thanks,
