I don't get the same "mileage" as @Kaveman from burning coniferous wood, Doug fir almost exclusively. I need to clean creosote from my flue and its rain cap; usually do it in the spring after the heating season is done, but sometimes before that...either way always starting the season with a clean flue.
Like his, mine is a straight shot up, no bends. My exposed interior pipe is double wall, but has inlet and exhaust vents built in at top and bottom of that section between stove and ceiling. Transfers some extra heat into the house that way. Triple wall pipe through the ceiling and inside a boxed-in section through a closet upstairs.
Most of the creosote is deposited in the last few feet and in the outside cap.
