I have an old Mama Fisher I am installing in my old barn for some wintertime heat. It's a simple setup, I have posted about elsewhere here.

I am at the point I need to buy and install my stovepipe. Unfortunately, I am completely lacking in the skills of visualizing what I need and how it all fits together.

I'd like some detailed help on what I need to order, and how to install. I'd be happy to pay someone for install help if you're local to the Philly area (Chesco). I got a $750 quote just for pipe from a store, and that seems like a lot to put into this project.

Here's the (crappy) diagram I made.

And here's the stove.

Technically, You only need stove pipe from the back of the stove to about 3" below the ceiling joist.
There you need to install a ceiling support box to transition from connector pipe to Class A chimney.
The Class A will run from the support box thru a roof flashing to the cap.
We need to know the pitch of the roof to tell you how high you need to run the Class A out of the roof.
 
$750 for materials doesn't sound too far off at all. You could probably save a little at big box store, but you will sacrifice help or support from the local store. There are a lot of components required to do it properly.
 
actually because there is no ceiling as long as you can get the clearance tou need you could run stove pipe up to just below the roof but i would do like dansky said it will work better and you wont have to change it if you ever put a ceiling in
 
The 36" run up accounts for roof height and pitch. There will never be a ceiling, since it is a barn. I have no problem doing class A all the way from the stove.
 
I would not do class a all the way to the stove just fron the trusses up.
 
So you want to have the weight of 10+ feet of Class A
sitting on a 90 degree elbow at the back of your stove?
I'm outta this one.
 
ok you need to put a support box hanging from the trusses to support the chimney you will run insulated class a up from there through the roof. Below that you will use stove pipe either single wall which will be fine as long as you can have 18" of clearance. Or double wall connector pipe
