It would work.
The first thing you need to do though is check with both the local codes and your insurance.
In most places a wood stove in a garage is not welcome. With that said, we find them all over the place where I live. I also know a man who heats his garage where he does mechanical and body work. He has an 8" pipe running outside the garage and the pipe is not insulated. It does a fair job of keeping his shop warm but it also is a big stove he has.

Feeling the Heat
(PA resident) - if the pole farm isn't a "structure" it's not subject to code in your municipality. In other words, if you needed to have it inspected, it's governed by code and you can't put up old truck parts on your stove for venting. 
If the structure isn't inspected, you can do whatever you want (at your own risk, of course).

I sure wouldn't even if it is allowed there. The heat loss from single wall is going to be a disaster when it comes to performance and cleanliness.
