heyyo folks,
i just finished my first year burning with the 1402- loved it, it was great...
i just had the fist (clean!) sweep and my sweep reminded me to keep the airwash area free of debris, as there was a little foggish type action on the window. i regularly cleaned the area out with a spoon (not while burning of course) to get the bigger chunks out, and for the most part we had a clean window, but definitely had some buildup around the bottom. how do you folks with similar setups keep the airwash thingy (thats my technical term for it) clean and unblocked- it seems to me that, in the 1402 anyways, that stuff will always fall in there and block it to some extent. but then again, im just starting to have some idea of what im doing. the wood was bone dry- there was no buildup in the chimney, so i'm assuming that wet wood wouldnt be the cause of my foggy window- it must be the airwash. right? maybe?
thanks in advance!
