I cleaned out all the ash and capped the flue so I am officially done for the year as well.

I've shut down my CB 5036.  I scraped as best I could but there is still a good coating of black shinny creosote.  Is this normal?  The only part of the chamber where you can see steel is the bottom.  This is my first shutdown.

Yes the glazed shiney creosote is normal. You want to remove/scrape off any crusty creosote build up on the walls, corners, ceiling baffles, etc.
