Depending on the type of fuel you are burning will dictate

how often you have to clean your firepot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content it

may be necessary to clean the firepot more than once a day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the firepot. A clinker

is formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is

heated to 1093°C and becomes glass-like. See

page 16 in

this section for more details on fuels with high ash content.
