I have this small wood/coal stove that I would like to hook up. What size for the oval to round? What size of stove pipe would be good for this? I think 8" would be over kill, and leaning towards 6" ??

Yes, that is looking like it would connect to 6" chimney. I'm wondering if you could ovalize the crimped end of a 6" round stove pipe to fit.
 
Measure the circumference of the opening and divide by pi (3.14). Most likely it'll be 6 inches or a touch less. The old woodstove in my cabin uses an 8" pipe squished to an oval shape.
