You need to heat up the chimney…get your fire ready to go and then roll up some newspaper, light the end, and hold it near the flue…when it warms up you’ll see the flame start going up the flue…then light your fire with the paper and you should be good.

I also have a L shaped chimney that is 2 connected to 1 if that helps

OK so you have a three-story tall chimney and it is angled. A little challenging I guess.

So definitely a good safety measure to have it serviced/inspected every year, also to have a cap on top to prevent animal nesting.

Then, with the length and the bend, I think some extra patience might be needed when the season begins to get that baby going
