Stove Pipe Ideas - to make life easier

[BeaverIslander]

At present when cleaning out my chimney I take the pipe off from the 1st floor ceiling down to the stove but it is a real PITA to get everything lined back up, as there are 2 flexible angles that are always turning. I'd like to replace that whole mess with fewer pieces if possible. (see images.)
I was thinking maybe two 15 or 30 degree angles might work but I don't know how far they would move the pipe out as the stove really needs to sit where it is. I dropped a level down and the stove opening sits 7" back of where the pipe come down.
Second issue is having to remove that whole section of pipe for clean out in the first place. It would be nice to run the brush down the whole thing if the 15 or 30 degree angled pieces would allow them to go through. It would be nice to somehow catch all the creosote in that clean out before it gets to the stove.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

What stove is this? Would it be easier to clean bottom up after removing the baffle?

What are you cleaning with? Using a sooteater type brush you can usually clean thru the stove.

It seems that you have a hearth pad. Can you move the stove and pad forward by 7" and just go straight up with a telescoping pipe?

I'm not sure the clean out T is useful here; anything that falls will fall past it into the stove...?

Also is that single wall pipe? Is it 18" from the wall?

It's called "The Performer" not sure but it might be made in Michigan.
Is is on a tiled area so if I were to move the stove directly under the chimney the hot ashes would jump out on a wood Pergo Floor. I really don't want to have to re-due the flooring.

I am using a regular old 6" chimney brush on 3-4' fiberglass rod sections Not sure if you can go from the bottom up, but I do know my back wouldn't allow it..... and yes, that clean out could probably just be eliminated.

Sounds like I'll probably just continue on as I have been. I'm getting to where I need help when I tackle the job and was just trying to make it easier and faster, although I've been doing it this way for 25 years

Sounds like it's the Country S210 stove, now sold by IronStrike. If using the top down method, then either the baffle is removed so that the soot can fall into the firebox, or the pipe is lifted so that a bag can be placed on the bottom of the pipe to catch the sote. A lot of us now use a rotary brush with flexible rods like the Sooteater, to clean bottom up.
