You might do much better to find some distributors of Selkirk - like a local plumbing and heating supply, many of whom sell to the public over the counter. Even some wood stove shops will give good discounts to DIYers.
Reasons being - speaking from my experience - our shop and the local PH stocked pretty large amount of this stuff - LOTS of fittings and pipe in both sizes. Lowes is likely to work on a Just in Time or seasonable basis, and therefore not have the inventory at all time...like when you need just one more fitting or piece to complete.

I used the SuperVent from Lowe's/Mendard's. It's a pretty good product. I was happy with it, but...
Just to warn you, Sam, the Selkirk SuperVent line that Lowe's sells is ONLY available in the US from Lowes and Menards.
If you end up needing parts, those are your only options and they may have to speical order parts (usually with a 3 week turn around).
The Selkirk Metalbestos and SuperPro lines are more readily available in the US (but these parts can't be intermixed with SuperVent without voiding warranties).
Also, the Simpson Duravent product is sold by more dealers as well.

Thanks for all the replies I appreciate it. I will check Lowes and some local shops this week. It is an easy project as far as chimneys go. only about 6 feet from attic cieling to roof and it is dead straight so no bends required, stove sits directly below. Ya I prefer not to wait 3 weeks for each part so I will check some other stores, thanks again
