I am installing an Pacific Energy Super 27 Wood stove. Where I am placing this stove my single wall black pipe will need to go up for 4' then 45 degrees for 12" and then straight up for 8' before going out the roof. I have looked in the manual but I do not see anything that says this cannot be done with this stove. Advise please!
Thank you
 
That's not a problem. It's strongly recommended to use double-wall stove pipe for runs over 8' long. Be sure to use 3 screws per pipe joint.
 
The stove should be the source of heat, not the stove pipe. Long runs of stove pipe will cool down the flue gases significantly. That reduces draft and increases the opportunity for creosote build-up in the flue system.

How many sq ft will you be heating with the stove?

Maybe 1000
500 where the stove is and 500 above
 
The Super 27 should have no problem heating that space with good dry wood.

Normally no. Mixing the two types is not recommended or commonly done.
FWIW, we have a 45 offset as described on our stove. The entire run is double-wall.
