the chimney sweep type work pretty well, but they won't eliminate the need to actually clean your chimney.
I use them twice(or 3) a season and they definately cut down on the creosole build up, but they do not elliminate it.
I have a wood stove and my chimney is cleaned every year by a pro. I had a friend who swore that if you use potato peelings this wouldn't be necessary. To make a long story short, her house burned down. Mine is still standing.
