You don’t say if your flue is all vertical or not but if it is, just pull the baffle and sweep the chimney from above or below. All of the junk will fall into the stove. Easy. Don’t break the baffle!

It’s 20 feet straight up. Yeh the fragile baffle

How did you pull your baffle, without damage. I thought that might be helpful to know.

Right out the front. Easy peazy. There was one little cotter pin and a funny little stainless steel shield on the front tube that had to come out with it. Self explanatory. If the OP can’t figure it out then maybe come back and ask?

Well that’s the way I did it when I cleaned it last time. Baffle is like a quarter inch thick piece of bread.
