I had an old 1980's prefab fireplace that I pulled out when remodeling. Because of the heat that will come off of the wood stove that I want to put in I had to redesign a little bit. Where the old fireplace cavity was will be wood storage and the stove is offset and free standing to the right. The pipe that is running up the chase way is 8" DuraTech pipe. I will need to punch a hole through the wall then back into the chase way to reconnect. I have attached pictures so hopefully that will make sense. Also, I tried my hardest not to make the drawing above the stove not look like a willie lol. Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I could do straight up for sure it will just be on the outside of the house instead of hidden in that cavity.

Ditch the old triple wall. Go straight up. 7” on that stove will be sluggish when it’s not cold and absolutely rip/over fire on the cold wind day/nights.
Make sure your wood is stacked and split for at least two summers. Our youth group in Hays used to sell firewood. We’d split at and sell it the same day and no one complained but wet wood won’t burn well at all in that VC

That dutchwest 2462 requires an 8" pipe which I currently have. I'm just going to go straight out and re-use the old pipe I have but run it up the side of the house. I have the exact same stove upstairs and run ash wood in it that I split and stack and so far have had no issues.
