Will depend on type and quantity of wood you burn, and the type of stove. Some woods produce more creosote than others, and airtight stoves tend to burn cooler, with more buildup of creosote in the flue. Flues should be cleaned at LEAST at the start of the season- and checked throughout the year, and cleaned as needed. I try to get mine cleaned at the END of the heating season- start the year the next year with a clean flue.
