Good day everyone!

I have big buck 28000 slammed in a fireplace. The chimney is terracotta brick lined and was in great shape before firing it.
When I posted here for the first time people said I need to line my chimney check bunch of other things. I had a second opinion and was told in clear to burn just need to burn it hotter.
I'm cooling my stove down for maintenance because my blower slowly quitting.
So I started to research about lining my chimney.
I came across buck stove adapter, but as you can see on the picture it starts that it is not for slammer version of the stove. Why?
I'm assuming that stove is designed to be slammer or freestanding.
Free standing gets the adapter and slammer doesn't?
Any advice for me?

It's not for a slammer, that would mean no flue connection., The caveat might be because it's not stainless.
 
No. Stainless is pretty stable that way.

Buck stoves are a pain to hook up properly because of the shape of their outlet. Their adapter typically won't fit in a fireplace. If it does great. But it will most likely need a custom fabricated boot

Do you know if I could buy something custom like that online or should I start looking at my local stove and HVAC places?
