I will have to ask the sweep or make a few phone calls, not sure about the building permits

A 6" liner with 1/2" insulation will usually not fit into a 7 by 7 flue. Lots of times even a bare 6" liner can be a pain to get in depending on how well the liners are lined up and how much mortar is hanging out of the joints.

I was told by the stove maker (WS) not to use a 5.5" liner. I measured the narrow dimension and its just about 6.5". I wonder if a 6" liner with no insulaton would even fit, but it seems the best option is to ovalize and insulate properly.
Check out M&G DuraLiner. It is pre-insulated. They have rigid, flex, oval, etc. and it all locks together into one system.

Very interesting, Begreen I'm looking hard at this.
Boy is it close. Looks like 6 5/8" - wow is that close. I think that is the max that would possibly fit. This is teasing me with the possibility. I think it's 1/8 over. Darn.

I saw the oval. I was really hoping to get round pipe to make cleaning easier. Also, my flue enters the smoke chamber at one end so I am concerned it will be hard for oval to make the S bend to the stove.

You can transition to round as soon as it's feasible, but with the double-wall pipe it will not be as flexible as single-wall.

That's what I figured, double not as flexible as single.
The other problem is once you transition to round, how the heck do you get an oval brush in there.
I have a sooteater, but sometimes you can't beat a brush for a good quick cleaning.
