How often do you guys who own Santa Fe or Castille take out the brick plates and top plate to clean out the ash ?? And how often would you recommend ?
I did this about 3.5 weeks ago and cleaned everything out. I did it again today and it was pretty full of ash back there. So I took my very powerfull Shop Vac and cleaned it out really good and cleaned the exchange tubes. Also was able to get the vac tip behind in the exhaust area too. I'm thinking that waiting for a ton to be used is too long to clean that stuff ...
