I have a Jotul F600 woodstove which I just purchased and installed in Fall08. The woodstove was running the other day and I have noticed that it has been harder to get a good fire going. I suspected this was a cause of not burning with seasoned wood, and a buildup of creosote in the 6inch chimney. The other day we were burning and a large piece of creosote fell from the pipe and caused a mild blow back of smoke into the room. I have a fairly basic woodstove install and was toying with the idea of cleaning out the chimney myself this weekend. After all that long wind here are my questions:
1. Is this difficult to do?
2. How should I approach this task without getting too dirty inside the house
Here are the specs on my setup
*8ft of doublewall black on inside of house
*8ft Metal Spestos pipe on outside of house
