I had problems at one angle point getting buildup of soot. (My setup was verticle from stove, 90 degree turn, horizontal to next 90 degree in chimney, then verticle all the way up and out.)

I was burning green wood though when it was bad. When the chimney got to where it wasn't drawing good, I knew it was time to clean out. With the green wood (burned it the first 2 years) I was having to clean the chimney out every 2 months or so. With seasoned wood I was cleaning it out once during the winter season.

The first couple of times I would brush the chimney, then take the stove pipe from the stove to the chimney out and clean out the soot. Being the poor, but creative redneck that I was at the time though, I progressed to the point where I would let the fire go out, climb up on the roof, brush the chimney, then drop a 10' stick of PVC pipe down the chimney, hook the shop vac up to it and suck out the soot without taking the pipe apart.
