Wow! Gotta say I loved cleaning my stainless straight up chimney and the 30NC compared to the old concrete block/tile and smoke dragon! I went from literally around a gallon or so of horrible,chunky glaze to about a cup and a half of powdery/flakey stuff. and I cheated and cleaned from the inside-up this year [emoji14] .

Looks like polybrush tracks to me...
Yep. Roof was a little damp so I took my DVL pipe from inside off and poked a hole in a trash bag for the rods to slip through..
 
Looks like you're burning properly! COngrats!

And most of all, I am glad you "see the light" ;) New EPA stoves are lightyears ahead of smoke dragons in terms of efficiency and creosote formation (if burned properly)
