I'm trying to install a wood stove into a kitchen/ get together building of mine. Please forgive my ignorance as I am from the south and we don't have to burn much wood. The walls are cinder block and the stove I have is 8" pipe. My question is do I need a thimble going through block like that? I've been trying to find one online and they all say only work with dura tech pipe and so on. The pipe I have I got from lowes a while back and I don't see a maker's mark any where. Is there more of a universal thimble? Thanks for any and all answers

If the wall is only cement block then you can take a Class A stub extension off the snout of the tee and run it through the wall. No thimble needed. This assumes that there is no drywall or studs involved. If so, the chimney pipe clearances need to be honored.
It's the 8 inch wood burning stove pipe. Comes in a sheet and locks together when rolled over
Forgive my ignorance but I looked up a class A tee online and I don't see a stub exstension. Could you be more specific
The "stub" would be a short 12 or 18" length of class A chimney pipe attached to the nose of the tee so that it passes through the cement block wall and into the interior room space. Only chimney pipe can pass through the wall. The 8" stove pipe is only for use in the room itself to connect the chimney pipe to the stove's flue outlet.
