Installation in a 12x16 building? help!

[peckerwood]

I am tired of freezing in my Man Cave and want to
install a wood stove. I found a Century Hearth at Lowes
on clearance(it is the smallest model 1,000sq. ft.).
Can I install ok in this? I know I need wall protection.
There is NO insulation.
It is on hold and need to pick up in morning, if
you folks think it is feasible.
If so, do I go straight up or out wall and up?
From what I have read, I'm not sure about getting proper height
on chimney for draft. Building is only 7 ft tall standard Prefab type unit.
Also, how do you do chimney going straight up, when you do
not need the attic section of pipe section.
I would greatly appreciate any input.
Thanks

they make a support thimble.. or a wall mounted support that you place a Tee on..come out of the stove into the SIDE of the tee.. That way most of the pipe closest to the wall is type A. Unless the stove is further from the wall.. Then they make a cathedral ceiling support.

Go straight up. THe tee is the most expensive stinkin part of a class A installation. I have a stove hook up in my 12x16 shed, and I went straight up and out the barn roof. Two pieces of class A and a ceiling support box, plus the cap, and flashing. That's it. Otherwise you'll need a tee, tee support and MORE class A, which is not cheap. Single wall stovepipe is. Use as much of it as you can.

Go strait up
and they make an adjutsable angle roof support (broken link removed)

I also have a mancave, but mine is smaller (12x12). I thought long and hard about putting in a woodstove since it's surrounded by an acre of wood (lots of dead, standing trees that need cleaned up), but I decided to use a kerosene heater instead. That has worked out very well: I get the heat I need right when I want it, and I truck the wood back to my house where I burn it in my Jotul Nordic. Now, if I lived in that small cabin full-time, I definitely would put in a woodstove. But for the 20 or so nights a year that I'm there, the kerosene heater makes more sense.
