Cleaning the glass is a snap if you've got some cold ashes. Get a paper towel slightly damp, dip in the ashes, scrub your glass clean. Anything too stubborn for that you can go at with a razor blade or (my personal favorite) ignore. A good sweep will get the chimney AND CAP cleaned out of creosote. Other than that, you might think about taking the firebricks out and sweeping out any ash that's accumulated under them.
