I just got a Mini Cubic Cub wood stove and am now figuring out my chimney so I can get it ordered for my well-insulated cargo trailer.

I found a robot calculator at Tiny Wood Stove Flue System Builder.

After entering in the height to the metal roof (71 inches from the top of the stove not including the 2 inch collar at the top of the stove)
plus the height of the rooftop air conditioner (15 inches above the roof and 53 inches away from where the pipe will exit) the robot calculated their parts for the project at $795 including shipping. The parts list is a little long but I put them at the bottom as a reference if anyone wants to review them.
Also, several of the items are estimated to be on back order until May.

I also saw these parts at the Cubic Mini website:
CB-6000-MR Metal Roof Exit Kit including:
1 x 5" ( 12.7 cm ) CB-5029-SS 5" ( 12.7 cm ) Stainless Steel Ceiling Trim Plate.
1 x CB-3027-SS Support Brackets.
1 x DFE104B Metal Roof Flashing Boot.
1 x CB-5028-SS Stainless Steel Cap.
1 x CB-3050-SS 3" ( 7.62 cm ) to 5" ( 12.7 cm ) Adapter.
2 x CB-5012-SS 5" ( 12.7 cm ) Stainless Steel Insulated Pipes, 12" ( 30.48 cm ) Long to allow for a low profile when driving.

And then I would need the pipes which I figure would be
CB-3024-SS-4 Four 3" Stainless Steel Double Wall Flue Pipes, 24" Long (Gives a total of 91.5" of usable flue pipe.)

Does anyone see a benefit of the $795 parts list from the robot versus the $500 double wall pipes and metal roof exit system from Cubic Mini? (Otherwise I will probably order from Cubic tomorrow.) Any input on this or anything related is extremely appreciated.
P.S. I know I need shielding but not a fire safe. Sorry about that.

THANKS SO MUCH!
