You need to make the combustion gasses hotter to burn off the residue. And yes as suggested, burn less pine.

Le Coupe hit it on the nose...
Seasoned wood with lower sap, better draw on chimney... all ending in higher exhaust gasses.
DO make sure your clean and sweep the chimney once a year to CLEAR out that creosote... major fire hazard

Dry well seasoned wood, better air flow, clean chimney. Wood stoves are dirty, I am glad to have built a new home with gas heat. Tip: buy a carbon dioxide alarm.

It's due to the resin (sap) in the wood you're burning. Pine (esp. cheap kindling) contains lots of it, try burning a harder wood from a deciduous tree.

you are burning wood which has not seasoned and is too green.
This means it still has sap and resin in it
