Feel free to comment,

After one season in operation and heading into a second season, I would like to report

Chimney condition,( brick with clay liner 6x6) as clean as I started the previous year.
Creosote accumulation, nothing but dust to a fine sand. ( and I have seen some ugly creosote before)
Wasp nest at clean out door. (found dead birds so that is no surprise.)
I thought the glass door was dirty but i cleaned it in 30 seconds.
I ran stove at recommended temps with thermometers.
I paid very close attention to secondary burns
Wood burned had about 8 months outside drying then indoors unheated, same as always.

Conclusions
Run stove to specs, nothing less or nothing more. PE all the way!
