I would like to purchase a Blaze King King 40. My setup would be class A chimney up through house and exiting roof. All straight, no bends.

4' 8" of 8" double wall stove pipe
19' 7" of 8" double wall chimney.

Manual states minimum 15' from top of stove to cap.

My concern is will I have too much draft ?
What length of 8" would Give too much draft ?

You will probably have higher than the specified draft but probably not enough to cause any issues. You can always add a pipe damper if there are problems
