I have a 2.0 wood pro stove, i got the thru the wall chimney kit by Duraplus or Duravent. My issue is that i came up short on the thru the wall and into the thimble section, by about 6" i did not notice that the kit was missing the extra class A section that connects to the thimble. the wood stove pipe however does connect to the section outside so there is a complete connection between the indoor pipe and the duravent chimney. I was going to get ceramic insulation to protect the thimble box from heat. Im hoping this will fix the problem?... since the chimney is only just a combination of metal, air and ceramic insulation...any suggestions please im disabled and can't do this hard work...especially when its all done, and i can't undue it. The t does extend about 6" inside the wall but doesn't reach to the thimble. Guess my walls are thick?

Going top see if I can get you moved to wood stove section:)
 
You can not run stove pipe past the wall to the tee. The heat radiating off of a horiz. stove pipe is very high. Instead you need Class A chimney pipe to extend from the tee, through the wall and 6" into the room. Get the proper section of chimney pipe and finish off the job safely.
