Some glaze after sweeping

[MichaelSand]

I swept my chimney earlier this year. I’ve still noticed some build up and what looks like a little glaze. What’s normal?

The posted photos are looking upwards from the interior of the wood stove into the lower end of the stove pipe correct? I would sweep it again if it were me. You mentioned that you swept earlier but it isn’t clean. Can you please get a photo of your chimney cap and post it. If it’s discolored/ partially plugged it’ll help suggest a cause for the build up. How often do you burn the stove. Flue and stovetop temperatures?
Do you have a moisture meter yet?
