Our stove releases smoke into the house when we open the stove door, it also has a black goo that runs down the chimney.

First you need your chimney swept, and inspected. Next you need to make sure that you are burning seasoned firewood, if you are buring green wood (wood that is still wet) it is forming creosote in your chimney. Also do not burn pine or cedar, the tar from that wood coats your chimney. Until you have it swept, do not burn a fire in there cause it could cause a fire.

That sounds like you have a dangerous build up of creosote.Your chimney is not drafting correctly, and you will have a fire. Close it down and don't use it until it has been cleaned and inspected. Chimneys should be cleaned on yrly basis, this is the reason for so many house fires and deaths due to fire during the winter months.Contact a reputable Chimney Sweep company.

That is creosote build up inside the chimney. It is a fire hazard. It also means the chimney liner has failed.
This is so dangerous, I recommend that you immediately stop suing the stove. Have the inside of the chimney cleaned and inspected by a professional.

Your burning softwoods in the stove like pine, and what you see is Pine Tar. Smoke in the house means a Draft problem. Make sure you have a crack opening at a window, so it can breath.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/IOUlj
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

first of all, have the chimney cleaned, it is a fire hazard...then when you burn wood, make sure it is seasoned wood, not green, that is what causes the black goo
