Wood Scrounge

I clean out my chimney for my wood stove once a year and it ALWAYS needs it bad. My insert is another story, it's a pain to pull off the facade and pull the insert out. I have run about 5 cords through it without cleaning. I justified my laziness by thinking I always run the insert wide open hot. But I have been laying in bed thinking about it the past few nights so I decided I would get up this morning and get it done. The thing only it had was very light coat of fine black soot, a couple of bangs on the side and the shop vac took care of it.
Do you think it was so clean because I do run it so hot, or maybe it's the wood?
