Ok, never had an insert before, and the only thing I've learned for sure about all this wood heat stuff is how much I've yet to learn. I was looking at inserts and saw some (Regency) that stated "Means must be provided for the removal of the insert to clean the chimney flue". Now, does that mean that some/all inserts have to be taken out of the fireplace for some reason? Or does it just depend on the insert? Why would you have to take it out; I was assuming (yes I know what that word means) that a chimney cleaner could clean from the top, the crud falls into the insert and I scoop. Am I mistaken YET again???
