Burn dry wood, and get the stove hot as quick as possible. If the top of the chimney is 450'F it doesn't build soot. Best to get it hot and keep it hot. Low temperature surfaces build more soot. I clean the metal stovepipes in the basement monthly. In 30 years the only cleaning the chimney ever needed was a log chain balled up and dropped in from the top one time about 15 years ago. Every year I stick a hand mirror in the bottom and look up the chimney on a bright day. Virtually no soot accumulates.
Every couple months in the winter season I'll build a hot fire, and when it burns down and is full of hot coals I'll toss in a cup of 'creosote remover' for fun. I don't remember what it is exactly because this tub of stuff lasts a long time.
I burn wood that has been dead for at least a year, and try to keep it in the basement a week before it needs to go in the stove. Since the winter air is so dry, the wood goes in the stove dry like cardboard (only heavier.)
