    got the left side and inside covers for impellar and heat exchanger :) . Did not do right side, I worried the computer panel would have wires I might pull out?

    I'm afraid its fried, just a nub left. The darn bold is cut on the other side too! No head on it.
    It's so soft I can't turn it with vice grips :headbang: This is the outside, the inside is about 1/4" no head.

    Might just be a stud and you can back it out,or run it in further and get with pliers from inside.Do not think there is a cleaning port on right side of stove,just convection blower to vacuum.

    Yes.Needs to come out.Goes into a nut that is welded on the backside.Spray with penetrating oil,tap on it and wiggle back and forth,probably will not be that tight.

    I finally identified the can, duct tape on it. Looks like gun stuff, Safariland cleaner lubricant preservative by Break Free.

    Just finished a quick cleany of the stove. Always good to see the re-light when it's going down to -15 overnight!
