Wish I was that lucky, just cleaned it yesterday, only about 1 cup creosote powder, nice and shiny now. I put cement at all the lower connections of pipe. Seemed to help. Now I have to deal with this curring smelling, STILL AFTER ALMOST A YEAR OF BEING USED.....:O

Maybe you just need to get the thing REALLY ripping good. That should take care of any curing smell. Get some nice really dry wood and get the temp up there and hold it for an hour or so. That's how we do it with gas units, run it on max temp for 6 hours straight.
