So after 12 years i cleaned the liner and stove. But before anyone busts chops this is a weekend cabin so usually one day a week use. And i burn pine that's 5-10 years old stored in an old barn. Used the Sooteater, a great tool and easy to use.
I got about 2 lbs at most of mostly soot didn't see much creosote. Didn't pull the baffle but vacuumed white ash off the top.
It now seems to burn hotter. Here is a pic of the cap of the bottom of the Tee.
