Reading through the info you provided in your replies a few things came to mind.
-You said the chimney cap was removed as it was getting plugged up.
This to me indicates the stove is either being run too cool or the wood although dry may be heavy with sap/tar.
I had a load of pine years ago that was split and dried 2 years but still caused horrible problems with creosote build up in the chimney and especially in the cap.
Switched to different wood and the problem went away.
-You said the chimney is clean, how about the stove itself?
My stove will hold about 10 gallons of ash, when it is near full it will not burn right. Flow gets restricted to the re-burner and air travel through passages that are designed to keep the window clean don't work right.
-When you open your bypass then add wood you are supposed to leave it open for 10-15 minutes so the added wood gets burning good before you close the bypass.
-I make it a point to have the stove rip roaring hot for a good hour at least once a day when I am using it otherwise turning it down at night creates a lot of build up.
I check and clean my chimney on a regular basis, since I have started doing the hot burns I can go all winter with zero buildup in the pipes.
It only takes me 5 minutes to run the brush and rods up my chimney followed by shinning a spot light up it to check it.
Once you are used to a stove you can usually tell right away when something needs attention based on how it burns, how hot it gets, how the ashes look etc.
Just something to get used to.
Last thought you said the chimney is clean, how about the pipes leading from the stove to the chimney stack?
Is it straight up and away or are there elbows in the installation?

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
