Hello All -
Got my chimneys cleaned today from my chimney guy. He cleaned my upstairs fireplace in anticipation of the install if my Mt. Vernon insert. After he finished, we were chatting and he asked me if I had any literature on the new stove because he was curious on the cleaning aspect of it. I had some parts of the manual that my dealer gave me to read up on so I showed him that.
He asked me how the liner connects to the stove and such because I would expect that to clean all of this, you go on the roof, use the brushes down the pipe, then vaccum out the crap after it falls down the bottom. It looked to me that if you did that with this stove, all that crap would get inside of the stove.
Since at this point I have no idea, I told him I would find out. Do you need to pull the stove and disconnect the pipe, or is there another way? How do you go about it?
Thanks....
