My usual routine, at least on the Englander, is to shut it down once a day, usually coinciding with a hopper refill (most times its because my wife let it empty during the day when I'm at work) is to empty the burn plate, give the area where the burn plate sits a quick brushing, reinstall and fire it back up again. I only pull the baffle, thourough cleaning about once a week or so, depending on usage. It's been running great for 4 years now!Okay guys I'm back! Just letting you know that my stove is finally running like a champ. Lower settings seem to work best for me on 2-6-1 with upper settings on 2-4. Getting good heat, even flame, clean burn, clean glass and no smoke smell! Its great
!
I do have another question though. Prior to this season and all the help from your forum, my daily cleaning was very extensive. I shut stove down completely twice each day, vacuumed all ash out including removing baffle, scraped the burn plate, cleaned the glass (which before advice on here got black very quickly). Now with proper install, good settings, OAK in, my glass stays great, no clunkers, minimal ash, etc. So I'm wondering about that total shutdown. It always seemed to me that cold start twice every day made for a lot of lost heat in the house and always having to start over to get to the point where the house was "warmed" up. I've seen a couple of threads on here describing a daily "quick clean" which consists of just opening the door when the flame is at its lowest, pulling the ashes off the burn pot forward and pushing to the side, quick wipe of the glass and slam it shut again and let it go ----- never shutting down the stove or touching the "off" button. I've tried this for a couple of days only shutting the stove down to a cold start once daily but was just wondering how everyone else was doing it. Thinking maybe I could run a few days without ever shutting down - my ash is minimal at best and are now never any clunkers - just soft dark ash and very little of that. Also no smoke smell anymore since adding the appliance adapter, re-sealing the cleanout Tee, and extending outside cap 12 more inches from house.
So thought I'd pose the question to you with more experience and see what kind of "daily" cleaning schedule you were maintaining.
Thanks for any input regarding your cleaning rituals.
