Great forum here! I've had my St.Croix Hastings for about 7 years. It's been flawless although I don't burn much (initially I had it in my 500sq/ft house) now it's on the 2nd floor (550sq/ft per floor) of a newly built garage/loft with radiant heat in the slab. SO, about a ton/year.
I go to town with my shop vac and lube but will definitely be pulling the combustion fan for a cleaning soon based on some pics I've seen on here.
Anyway, I'll attempt to post some pics. My cats love the stove more then me!
Previous location in house with horizontal venting..
Current location with vertical venting..
