i took pipe apart and cleaned out fly ash . wow lots of ash . about 2 gallons in about 12 feet of pipe . then moved baro 2 feet farther from stove and added an MPD . I shook down after 24hour burn and had only about a gallon of ash . stove ran all day at about 300 . that amount of ash seems very low compared to last year . using new coal supplier . hope this low asah continues .
