Title: Empyre Pro 200 Air Inlet Tube Cleaning
Post by: mustang483 on November 08, 2012, 11:20:13 AM
Just fired up my Empyre Pro 200 for it's 3rd season here in SE PA and had some trouble with blockage of the air inlet tube.  After removing the blower I found that the much of the tube was blocked solid with creosote.  After heating with a torch from the inside of the main burn chamber I was able to get a small electrical fish through the tube which I used to pull in a small piece of chain.  After working for a long time with the chain and not getting very far I gave up and lit the stove.  Seems to be burning fine.

Anyone developed a good method to clean this air tube?

I haven't had your problem but after my first year I ran a chain down the tube to make sure it was clear.  when I started the second year it ran fine.

Just dropping a note in here as well. I have a Empyre Pro 100 and don't seem to be getting airflow into the unit. I followed some instructions from Empyre to clean the bottom air channel but it doesn't seem to have helped. I don't see anyway to "drop" a chain in my 100, does anyone have any suggestions of how to take the blower off to ream out the channel?
