  Woodburning Stoves

The build up in the stove indicative of wet wood.
Wood in the round can take for ever to dry. Wood is not split for asthetics but to aid in the drying. I always try to split wood in situ (where it fell) so I don't have to deal with the bark waste and the wood begins to dry immediately.
Drying wood also depends on the climate. In Nevada the dry climate will help to dry the wood. Here in the south I am not sure they know what dry wood is. I have had wood sitting here 3 years or more and not really dry.
Wet wood is generally easier to split also.
With the long chimney, which I assume is uninsulate, the chimney will not heat up properly and will not burn up the creosode thus the reside.
Remember that it takes a lot of BTU's to evaporate a pound of water. The wetter the wood the less heat you are getting for the work that you have already expended.

  Woodburning Stoves

I had tried everything from razor blades to simply green on the windows. I picked up a bottle of Zap the other day at the dollar store.
I had not cleaned the window on my pellet stove all last year. I tried the Zap on it and the black wiped off in on pass. I have tried it on other thing with mixed success as with every cleaner but it sits by the stove now.

  Woodburning Stoves

I repainted a stove once with Stove paint and it did not smell very good either. With of the stove it is like a new engine and there are a lot of fumes until it bakes on.

You definately need to be measuring the temperature on the stove pipe as close to the catalyst as possible.

I would buy a thermometer and measure both places. You can over heat the pipe with a lot of draft and still have the stove relatively cool.
