NO!
Read the manual and follow what it says. Your stove can be hooked to three things: A safe masonry chimney, a Class A chimney and double wall/single wall stove pipe. That's it. No pellet vent, no b-vent, no galvanized, no sewer pipe, no PVC.

No can do.
A stove like the Lange is rated same as other woodstove, for continuous 1000 F.
B vent is aluminum, which would melt very quickly at the 1400, 1700 and 2100 test temperatures of the chimney needed for you unit.
You need chimney tested to UL HT 103, or approved and lined masonry site-built.

Black pipe is OK to be used as a "chimney connector" inside, to go from the stove to the chimney - that is all. And it needs to be a certain distance from the wall, usually 18".
It cannot be used through walls or on the exterior - just to connect to the "real" things.

Please check the masonry codes. Exterior chimney must have 1" of clearance to combustibles, so you cannot mount wood furring strips (for siding) to it, etc.
Perhaps steel ones. Check with your code official.
2" clearance if the chimney is interior to the home.
