I m envious of the T. i have and insert and had asked abit ago on if I had to disconnect and move the whole thing out of the way to clean. Someone mentioned to remove the baffle, how difficult is that? simple burn tubes and the ceramic plate? I’m guessing there more to it then that.
SB.
I have a stove, not an insert.
For my first cleaning, I removed the two air tubes and two baffles.
It wasn't hard, 1 bolt per tube, then carefully slide the baffles out.
I can easily slide the flue pipe up, move the stove, and put a trash can under the pipe, but wanted to know what the top side of the baffles looked like.
Turned out there was only a very fine layer of dusty ash.
If my stove was too hard to move, etc, it really wouldn't be a big deal to pull the baffles out.
It would add maybe 10-15 minutes to the sweeping job, and probably less since I know how to do it next time.
