    All I have done since last fall when I did a good cleaning, is empty the ash and vac out the burn pot and and a little brushing and glass cleaning. That is all. It runs like new! Let it get hot on room stat and the cleaning issues are about gone. I'll do an extensive brushing, fan cleaning and the leaf blower thing later when it is warm out, but before the plants pop up. I don't want ash on the leaves from the leaf blower.

    Wait, they have those?
    I wonder if there is an addon to mine. Will save me 15 min every couple of weeks and 2 minutes every couple of days.

    Blah, you guys & gals w/ Harman's don't know how good you got it - us folks w/ tiny stoves (and deep burn pots) have to clean every day. You're all spoiled. :p ( I'm really feeling the 'Hormone Love' in this thread. :D)

    --
    Got some new parts for the Francesca this week: new Burn Pot, Flame Trap plate, and bracket: removed the FireEx panels inside, pulled out the small air compressor & tools, kicked the combustion motor on manual, and went to town. The ash cloud inside the Firebox was still impressive. :thumbs:

    Almost no buildup in the venting after 38 bags, was super happy about that. :yes:

    Stove is burning like new! Happy Roasting! :handshake:

    :cheers:

    If I remember from "the other place" saying...

    A clean stove is a happy stove.

    Does the mean my little whit that i clean every few days is happier than the harmans that get cleaned once a month?


    I will go hide now before I get banned...

    Oh wait, that would happen somewhere else and not here.
