Just recently I've been having the dirty stove issue of a burnpot filling overnight. I thought I was pretty up on the stove cleaning. I've had if for 5 years without this problem. I know it's a dirty stove issue...but where?
Checked oak and oak screen- completely clean!
During my cleaning process, I hit the back with a mallet and vacuum what falls.
I disconnected the exhaust vent and cleaned. (it's warm here now). Periodically do the leaf blower trick.
I removed the CB and installed a new one. It came with a gasket on, so all I had to do was put the screws on. I vacuumed inside before install.
I scrape the burnpot and drill the holes out during cleaning, but they seem to clog up.
After cleaning, it runs fine. Nice heat. Nice dancing (blue, yellow, and white flame) no orange flame. After a couple of bags, I wake up to this.
What is looks like is an air flow problem (cleaning), but where? . The ash doesn't seem to fall into the ash pan. It's a very small amount. And it seems to build up between the burnpot and the craddle
