Hi guys,
New member here. Been reading the threads here for years but haven't joined. Anyway, I was hoping I might benefit a little from the collective knowledge base on this forum. First, I have a Regency 2400 insert. No problems there. I'm happy with the stove. However, this year I decided to begin doing my own chimney cleaning and just purchased the necessary equipment. My hopes are to clean the stove from inside the house rather than have to climb up on my steep roof. My problem is that in order to get the brush and the rods up the flue pipe, I need to remove the burn tubes from inside my stove.
Does anybody have any experience removing the secondary burn tubes from a Regency/Hampton stove product?
The owner's manual indicates that there is a notch and that you need to turn the pipes a certain way and then slide them out. However, this simply is not working. I read somewhere else, I believe on this forum, about attaching a vise grip to the tube and using a hammer to to knock the tubes out of there holes. But....I would rather benefit from someone else's experience before I start using a hammer to knock things out! Anyway, I really appreciate any help that you guys might be able to provide.
Thanks and Take Care!
Jeff
