I am going to go vertically up from the stove, through a cathedral ceiling. There will be 11 feet of pipe inside the house to the ceiling. Then, on the outside it will be 8 more feet to be equal to the height of the peak of the roof. The peak will be 8 feet away. I know you are supposed to go 2 feet higher than the peak.
So, do I need to have 10 more feet of stainless steel pipe above the roof?
If I went 10 feet above the roof, total pipe would be 22 feet, counting the ceiling pass through kit.
 
It needs to be 2' higher than anything within 10', and needs bracing every 5' above the roof, I think. Should be great draft for that stove, which I think needs more draft than some.

This sounds like my installation. If the pipe is 8 feet from the ridge line you must be 2 feet above it minimum.

Mine is 11 feet double wall inside through the cathedral ceiling to 10 feet of stainless outside. It drafts incredibly well, maybe too well.
