When you install trombone pipe (black double wall) does that piece go on top of the stove or in the ceiling box?

Never heard it called that but i assume you mean the ajustable piece. Ive always put it at the ceiling. That way for final adjustment you only have to raise that piece not the entire stack

The other thing to remember with adjustable pipe (like with all pipe) is to keep the joints facing in the correct direction....
For wood stoves, the small end should be DOWN so that any creosote formed will be funneled back towards the stove, inside the pipe not dripping onto the outside through the joints. This is rather counter-intuitive to folks just thinking about the direction the smoke is traveling, and used to auto exhausts and the like where the small end should face away from the source.
In the case of a sliding connection, it means the outside peice should be on the bottom of the connection so that the inner part will "funnel" into it.
The adjustable section as a unit can be anywhere in the stack that fits best. Some folks put it near the top where they go into the Class A or chimney thimble, so that they don't have to lift the other sections of pipe. Other folks like to put it right at the stove so that they can separate the pipe and stove just by sliding the telescoping section up. Depends on your needs and individual setup.
