As usual, JD Maris has it right. Your triplewall pipe works on the principle of cooling the smoke so the heat doesn't reach combustables in your house. This causes the creoste to condense on the inside wall of the pipe and cause a buildup like you have. JD's double wall insulated works on the principle of keeping the heat contained inside the pipe which keeps the smoke hot and it doesn't condense until it reaches that cold cap on the top of the chimney. What to do about it? When you load your furnace, let it burn real hot for a few minutes after you load it before you damper it down. Get some of those creosote prventing logs others have mentioned. Get rid of that triple wall pipe and replace it with double wall as soon as you can afford it. I've seen double wall go cheap at auctions. It will do no good to put insulation around or enclose the triple wall pipe because it takes cold air down from the top of the chimney thru the outside space and brings it back up thru the inside space to cool the smoke. I've heard about the salt in the firebox and also putting all your potato peelings in to maybe it works maybe it doesn't.
