Wash the component in water, blow out the tubes with air (lock for Air

Hi

Thank you for your reply. My original post was over two weeks ago but I was
away unexpectedly which is why I now post after such a lengthy period.

The flue component is completely metal, I'm wondering if there is something
stronger than water and air pressure that I could use to decoke this?

Is there a solution of some kind that will dissolve coking?

If the flue is full (oreen half full) of coke/carbon/soot you have a serious problem with
the boiler and there will be much damage elsewhere as well and if fact you
had better get it fixed properly from top to bottom.

Sorry to disappoint.
