I am thinking about buying blazeking princess but the dealer told me if I had an outside chimney that the stove would not work right. I am planning on putting stove in my basement. I have 6" insulated chimney going through wall and approximately it goes up 21 feet past the eve of my house. do anyone have this type of setup.
TIA

how far above the floor is the bottom of your wall penetration?
 
It's going to depend on room pressure in the basement. Is there a stove there currently and if so, how does it draft in milder weather? If you hold an incense stick in front of the wall thimble, is the smoke pulled up the flue? If yes, then it may work out ok.
