I have purchased an englander free standing stove and some simpson pipe to install in my workshop. I have a 30x50 steel framed shop. There is no rafters in the shop. Im looking over these diagrams of installing the pipe through the ceiling and I see this support box. I dont know if I need that to do this job. I dont even have any wood in the ceiling to attach such a box to. If its necessary I place it there I will have to frame some type of structure for it to attach. My cealing consists of insulation and then the corrugated roof. If someone has a reccomendation of what I need to do that would be helpful.

You need to support the chimney some how. Some companies make a roof support bracket that mounts on top of the roof not sure about simpson though. But if you have the support box already just frame in some support
Do you have trusses and purlins? They can be attached to for holding the support box. Take a picture of the stove area and ceiling and post them here. Also, take a look at Highbeam's 30NC installation for tips.
