How do you do it?

Our log burning stove sits in its inglenook with its unjointed vertical
chimney pipe emerging from the flat top of the stove and straight up
through the top of the inglenook, presumably through a register plate or
some such thing.

The bottom end of the flue is concealed somewhere behind/above the fireback
and whilst there is a collar around the base of the pipe but this doesnt
seem to move to allow removal of the flue pipe.

Im guessing that the pipe must come out somehow to permit sweeping but
its not obvious to me.

Mine has an access plate on the pipe a few inches above the stove but
with the right flexible brush pole it turns out you can sweep it by
access from inside the fire cavity once the baffle plate is removed.
This is somewhat surprising as the brush has to fit between two water
heating pipes. It should be much easier on one without a back boiler.
