Creosote is removed from a chimney through the use of chimney brushes. A chimney sweep is usually hired for this particular job. They no longer climb down into the chimney, but use long handled mechanical brushes for this.

How do you clean the chimney of a wood burning stove?
There are several different things that can be done to help prevent the buildup of creosote in a chimney. First: burn hard woods only. (no pine or other sappy woods) Second: have your chimney cleaned regularly. Third: there is a creosote conditioner that you can apply by placing it in your fire. It will burn and help clean your chimney. ----- We advise our customers to burn wood that has a 12-18% moisture content. If the wood is too wet it will smolder and create creosote, too dry and it will burn too quickly and will overwhelm the reburn system with too much smoke. Burn the stove hot for at least an hour a day to help. Other than that follow the three above rules. ----- One thing you can do is avoid using an airtight stove with a tightly restricted draft. Airtight stoves produce a lot of creosote, which is why they have fallen from favor with many people. If they are used with a more open draft, they can produce less creosote.
