Installing a wood stove in a mobile home requires following special codes.

As far as the chimney goes you would need Class A chimney pipe. To pass thru the ceiling you would need a "cathedral support box". Different companies may call them different things, but it will be a large box that will extend into the room. From this box on upwards you will use Class A pipe. From that support box to the stove you will use black stove pipe.

On the roof you will use roof flashing and a storm collar.

Welcome, Scott. Selkirk has good instructional literature and videos. http://www.selkirkcorp.com/installation-planners/supervent.aspx
I installed it and in hindsight was pretty easy. Seemed hard at the time but I had never done it.

Welcome to the forums Scott ! I have to ask are you from South Georgia British Territories or South Georgia USA ? Sorry but we have some folks from across the pond here as well. If you mean USA there are many places to get your materials at farm supply stores like Tractor Supply carry Simpson which is what I have.

There is a kit for through the roof installations with a ceiling box support that Double wall pipe gets attached to on the roof side and inside your pipe from the stove to the box gets attached. You definitely need to check code for a mobile home not all stoves are mobile home approved. One of the biggest things is dry wood ! I am talking split stacked and dried for 2 years if possible. EPA stoves really need good dry wood to burn clean and efficient so it would be a good idea to get started cutting/buying firewood and drying it split and stacked in the wind if you have not already.

Also note that not all stove models are "mobile home approved". Basically that means that have an OAK, "outside air kit", to provide outside air for combustion. That is one of the requirements unique to mobiles, although OAK is a good idea in any installation, IMO.

Do you have a model in mind? Specific installation requirements are found in each model's manual and can be found online.
