No it's hooked up to a Pacific wood stove. I believe that's the brand. 6" outlet on that stove. Did I do a stupid thing?

Details? Inside diameter of the clay liner left me with 2" all the way around. Seems reasonable to me and the stove burns clean. What's the issue with the installation?
Reusing pipe that came with the stove. Did not see buying more pipe with that pipe on hand.

It will be fine. Typically these days you would use a single wall liner and often they insulate that. Years ago they just used the clay liner, then it was single wall inside the clay, then insulated single wall inside clay. Never heard of double wall inside clay but it isn't going to hurt anything and you had the pipe.

Not sure if it's an issue... maybe I am not following your application.
You put an insulated pipe, inside of a good clay lined chimney... is that correct?
My only question would be "why"?
I have used a wood stove, a coal stove, and now a pellet stove,
in my same masonry chimney for ~35 years..
Never had an issue with any of them.
