I would like to put a big second on what Jdemarais told you. I was on the fire dept for 35 years and our chief of thirty years used to always preach "Have a friendly chimney fire every day" You do this by putting in kindling wood and getting the fire to burn up into the flue where it will ignite the creosote. This needs to be done judiciously as J said. You need to keep it from going too fast by keeping your hand on the damper. It can't burn without air. Once you have your accumulation cleaned out with a slow methodical burn, you will be able to clean it quickly every day. You need to be aware also that as creosote burns it expands to about three times its cold size, this is why a burning chimney roars so, it is the air being sucked through the narrowed stretch of pipe. If you have a tee you can insert A mirror to inspect regularly. Then you will be far safer than those people who have their chimney cleaned in the fall and think that they are good for the year regardless of how they burn it.
