I am purchasing the Englander 30 nc wood stove this weekend and I'm looking at duravent stove pipe. Do I run single wall or double wall in the house? Thanks.

Feeling the Heat
The call really is yours as both are accepted methods. Food for thought... With the new EPA stoves being quite stingy with sending heat up the stack many folks opt for the double wall to retain the heat in the pipe. Whereas the single wall was more apt to be installed with the older stoves to reclaim some of the heat going up the stack.
That said - the 30 is a workhorse and probably wouldn't have much trouble retaining proper stack temps in either application.
My personal opinion - double wall from stove to cap.
Probe thermo in stack and stove top thermo on the stove.

Wow I need to learn a lot more about stoves and chimneys wow I am so lost with half the stuff I am reading. I will admit it to everyone I might need help learning the basics. I have about 2 full lengths of pipe 6 inch and one 90 bend. I have a masonry chimney. I don't know how many feet high easily 30 feet. I don't know what type of chimney liner. I don't have a thimble my pipe just goes right into and through the cement wall and pukes into the chimney.
Hmmm...that sounds a bit contradicting. "pukes into the chimney" doesn't make it sound like a liner is involved (yet).
There is a liner for sure. I know there is because I have cleaned it. And I checked it for cracks too.
Hmmm...are you talking about the tile? In the world of stove - a liner is usually referring to a stainless steel pipe that lines an existing flue. Often insulated. (maybe google duravent if you want to see more info).
So the pipe from the stove doesn't puke into the chimney, but a liner and then up to sunlight? Make sure you have the appropriate adapter from the stove pipe to the liner and you should be good to go.

Modern single-wall is well-made. I used mine for a couple decades, then with a couple of stove upgrades, I replaced with double-walled pipe. Much smaller clearances needed, and I just decided to go for it. In my particular installations, the ability to run closer to walls was a benefit. [Small house] But either version of pipe is fine.
Jags what does an appropriate adapter mean? The pipe just goes through the wall. And it is an 8 inch hole too for 8 inch pipe from my last stove. Please provide me some pictures or literature.
Rockford Chimney Supply is a supporter of this site and has a really nice website with all sorts of illustrations and explanations. This page will explain better than I. Not knowing exactly what you have I am reserved about giving you specifics. If this is not exactly what you have, look around the site. It covers almost all applications.
If you have a rigid liner go here:

I can't say never, but normally with the stoves today the air control on the stove it adequate in controlling the draft.
