I'm getting my stove all set for the upcoming winter and am wondering if I need to clean my vent piping since I only used my Santa Fe for about 6 weeks last year. It was installed in mid February.
If I do need to clean the vent piping I would like to use the leaf blower trick. Unfortunately my leaf blower only blows...it does not suck. There's a joke in that statement somewhere. My exterior vent piping has a cleanout at the bottom. Can't I just remove that and blow the air up the vent and out the goose neck. Has this been done or will too much soot and ash get into the stove and onto the mechanical components.
By the way ....great forum
