Whenever adding fuel to the hopper, take the time and
scrape the grate surface of the burnpot, using the scraper tool
provided. This can be done while a fire is burning. Wearing
heat resistant gloves, open the firebox door. Scrape any
accumulated ashes from in front of the fire, into the ash pan.
Now, scrape under the fire, in a downward direction, to loosen
any carbon deposits. Do not scrape the fire out of the pot.
Whatever you loosen will be pushed out with the flow of new
fuel into the pot. (Figure 33)
