25-ip

[Bigbrat]

Looking for some help
I have a englander 25-IP and my air intake tube has the screen missing on the end .
I just noticed that yesterday and I stuck the vacuum hose in it to stuck out any possible thing that may have went in it..I did stuck out a dryed up leaf but it still seems like the air flow is very low..is there some way that another leaf has gone into the back of the stove which I'm not getting?
Is there a way I can vacuum or stick something in the stove tube to make sure it's clear?

Leaf blower trick. Here.
The fresh air goes straight to the burn pot and you would see a leaf if it was there.

I've done that..
My concern is there is a leaf or something caught in the air Inlet of the stove that I can't get..the leaf blower trick doesn't clean the cold air intake..or I don't think it does?

Pull you burn pot, the large pipe in it will be your cold air intake. You can get the leaf out by blowing it outside or vacuum it out

My stove has no large pipe under the burn pot..it has a hole smaller the a quarter on the right and a slot about a 1/4 inch high and about 1 inch long

If you're concerned, remove your air intake pipe, open the door and vacuum the air intake tube. That will get anything out of there. I say open the door slightly so as not to screw up any vacuum switches.

If you have leaf blowered and still don't think your stove is moving enough air, the only other thing would be to pull the exhaust motor and scrape any accumulations out from under the fins. Lube the bearings while you have it out, too. A word of caution, these stoves aren't the greatest at moving air through them, the reason for the need to keep them CLEAN.
