The right size brush and enough poles for the length....pretty simple. You can also use a weight with some paracord or rope to pull the brush. With another person on top, and a line on each end its easy to pull back and forth. Theres also the rotary type cleaners that you put on a drill but brush always wkrked fine for me.
 
I just asked this question a few weeks ago, as I also have 2 30° elbows in my chimney. I ended up getting a poly brush and the regular fiberglass rods. Goes right through the elbows with no problem.
 
Yep.
 
To save money and since I only clean my chimney cold I used 3/4 pvc as rods. Two 10 ft lengths male 3/4npt on one end 3/4 female on the other length. Works well tho I dont have elbows in the pipe.
