@meandkg you dont clean it, it burns so clean and soot free(other than getting it going witch can be difficult) you dont have to clean it

This is great! I've been really interested in Kachelofens as I plan to live in the Georgian Bay area of central Ontario. This is the type of information I've been looking for. Thanks for the post....

I always thought 90 degree bends in a chimminy were really bad for air flow. Perhaps if the top of the flue was really long after it exits the stove it would draw but those bends and down routing are killer for flow.

@definca that is the point of masonry design. The purpose is to slow air flow to transfer the heat from the hot gases to the masonry inorder to produce a more efficient radiant heat system. These types of stoves do need to burn hot inorder to produce a clean burn, however, the radiant system allows for more even heat distribution over time and small loads of fuel.
