There is no way to stop it entirely. If you use only hard-woods and burn the fire hot all the time - you'll get the cleanest chimney. Of course, with a wood-stove inside a house that is near impossible. Keeping a hot chimney also helps. That won't happen with a block and flue chimney. True-insulated stove-pipe will stay the cleanest. It's common in Canada and sort of rare in the USA. I had to special order mine to get it into New York.
I have a large wood furnace and a smaller wood stove. I heat the house with one or the other depending on how cold it is. This way I can keep a pretty good fire going when using and not cook us out of the house. Woodstove for temps down to 25F-45F. Below that - the wood furnace gets used.
The newer EPA woodstoves also help a lot - but don't make a nice roaring fires like the "air tights" or pot-belly stoves before them. The EPA rated stoves have the ability to burn a low fire and still do it relatively clean.
The key to burning clean is to have a stove sized small enough so you can run it near full "throttle" and not get forced out of your house from too much heat. But the downside is - when it gets real cold - it probably won't be sufficient.
