I am installing a used osburn regent 1000. I am using dble wall pipe to the ceiling . Do I need a damper installed in the pipe? Any help here would be great.
 
Consult the manufacturer
Some stoves dont need a damper

Why double wall pipe to the ceiling?
The more single wall pipe you have inside the house the more heat you will get (maintaining tolerances of course)
I am glad I ran mine as high as I could before going out the side of the house, that pipe throws some heat

In general, no - newer stoves do not benefit from a stack damper.

If for some reason your new stove ends up getting too much draft as some very few do than you can add the pipe damper. otherwise , no need with new stoves.
