Did my first cleaning after about 6 weeks of burning and lots of cold starts due to it being warm and looking at others pictures around here I think I'm doing OK.

Bag of junk about 2 cups maybe.![[Hearth.com] First cleaning](https://www.hearth.com/talk/data/attachments/172/172182-1be456d89c8bb62d85d8cc3b21ff356f.jpg?hash=bLyp_CiRHk "[Hearth.com] First cleaning")

(ignore the grass in the background that needs cut I refuse to do it December through March the weather is nuts though.)
I did hear lots of gunk fall when I hit the very top which is probably normal but it might be worth investing in some double instead of single wall? I put 14.5 feet of soot eater rods starting at the ceiling box. I probably have 14 ft of class a and 10 to 11 feet of that is outside above the roof. The exit point is near the edge of the house and it's a steep pitch. I have about 5.5 feet of chimney pipe inside.
The important thing though is the animals are happy do what more could you ask for.![[Hearth.com] First cleaning](https://www.hearth.com/talk/data/attachments/172/172183-efcc7585f928f5c74b0e2f0c8a2ee4b9.jpg?hash=hQ96DeZw2n "[Hearth.com] First cleaning")
