Well my neighbors must think I am nuts. I came home tonight and did a deep clean on the Mount Vernon AE. But a deep clean isn't complete without the old leaf blower trick. So I went outside and turned on the flood lights got the leaf blower and went to work. I laughed my butt off when I saw the soot in the air as it passed by the flood lights! I don't know if I'll ever clean the stove again during daylight hours! I know the neighbors must be scratching their heads!
