I usually do a fairly good cleaning of the stove weekly; pull the fake logs, burnpot, pot liner, auger...all that fun stuff. This is a more involved clean which I usually do twice a season. Service rails were the best money I spent to help facilitate the cleaning. I can't recommend them enough. Long story short, pulled the stove, blocked off the exhaust opening on the liner coupling, cleaned the liner topside from the roof with a soot eater, cleaned the exhaust temp sensor, took a random pic of the damper, vac'd out the back side of the stove and did a normal weekly cleaning. Oh, and my ladder to the roof blew down twice due to the wind. Thankfully, I was on the ground both times. Pics, because we love pics! Exhaust temp sensor.

Purdy stove skier!! Dig the bear in the glasses.......... Nice tutorial on the cleaning too..........
Thanks guys! I feel that keeping the stove clean keeps it happy and running well. Plus, gives a good opportunity to give things a once over. And you certainly get a better understanding of how it works the more you work on it. The bear approves! He high fived me for a job well done!
That's "Cool Dude" bear! He actually encouraged me to get a frosty beverage once the job was done and the stove was running again.
