Vek, different than you'll encounter. When the wood smoke hits the exterior of even double wall insulated pipe, the smoke condenses against the cold walls. The ambient winter Temps are 20-40 below zero.
So if your stove goes cold near morning, so starts the build-up against the cold pipe.
Really big stoves that hold a lot of wood, the smoke is dense, that contributes to a quicker build-up of creosote.
"Burning out" your pipe is something I'll never do. It ruins the metal on everything you run those Temps. I've run a temp probe on a stove pipe where the creosote was being burned out: 1200 degrees f, which is insane.
Better to just sweep pipe more often, and keep your start-up Temps below 500 f., then bring the stove back down to 320-400 f.
I run BlazeKing kings,and equal sized earth stoves.
