What exactly goes inside chimney???

As I mentioned in another post, I'll be putting stove pipe inside a tile lined chimney. After reading another post about stove pipe, I'm even more confused!
Can't be iron pipe--or regular black chimney pipe--I get that. BUT -if I use double wall, or triple wall-how is it cleaned out?? I guess it cant be open on the bottom end-so I could use existing chimney clean out. But can someone tell me use XXX? to line chimney for a wood furnace? this WILL be inside

OK - I don't know exactly how your setup is but here's what my boy has - he's got a free standing wood stove sitting on a stone floor - the pipe comes out the back of the stove and goes into a stone fireplace - a stove pipe tee is placed on this pipe - the upper end of the tee goes up the chimmey - the lower part of the tee has a cover on it that can be removed - when he wants to clean the chimmey he opens the lower part of the tee by removing the cover - he then pushes a wire bush which is attached to a flexible rod up the chimmey

if you have a multiple walled pipe going up the chimmey you only need to worry about cleaning the inner pipe - you can't keep removing the pipe to clean it - you have to be able to clean it while it stays in the chimmey - hope that helps -

Is the tile liner in good shape? Is the chimney in good shape. Are there any openings other than the original fireplace opening?
