Anyone know the make?

Log burner at my partners house suddenly has no draw. The chimney isn't lined and we heard an noise like falling soot so think that the chimney outlet is stifled with soot! Just trying to see how it comes apart to clean out or at least check for an obstruction!

That looks very much like my Narvik.

It took my chimney sweep a little while to figure out how to open up to get the rods up - said it was a bit fiddly but I wasn’t there to watch unfortunately

There will normally be a removeable baffle plate in the top of the stove so open the door and see if there is a plate either bolted, screwed or just registered in to the stove. This plate should be removed and then the flue swept. I usually work out the rough height of the chimney and then translate that in to the number of rods needed.

If there is an additional damper in the flue above the chimney, that needs to be removed and is usually a case of holding the damper plate and rotating the handle so it can be withdrawn through the plate and flue.

I have had three stoves and one plate was bolted, the other two were Stovax and they were registered on the rear wall of the stove and two lugs on both sidewalls.

I think that the baffle plate is secured with a couple of bolts at the back. I noticed that the heat etc has damaged it so might have to get a new one! The chimney isn't lined so sweeping it would be a complicated job in a victorian terraced!

Can't think why it would be complicated to sweep an unlined chimney, they were all unlined until relatively recently.

Get a recommended sweep in if you don't want to do it yourself, otherwise just undo the stove pipe, lift it up and drag the stove out of the way.

There's likely to be soot on top of the baffle plate inside the stove and possibly fallen bricks on the register plate. None of that is hard to deal with either diy or paying a sweep.
