Default Log burning stove chimney sweeping question

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.

As others are saying, you take out the baffle plate inside. This
possibly means (carefully) removing the brittle firebricks too and
possibly one or two other loose bits of ironwork.

Do you have a make/model to google for the manual?
