Chimney & Fireplaces/flue pipe installation

Question
I'm about to install my new wood burning stove in my sun-room to help keep the cold at bay this winter. The walls are brick and the floor is cement.  I need to know and understand what type of pipe is necessary to go through my attic of my sun-room. Does it need to be a UL 103 HT Listed Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney. And if so what type of metal is used, galvanized or stainless steel, double wall or triple wall? I may be wrong on my term of "galvanized", I'm talking about the type of B-Vent purchasable at any of your local "Big-Box stores." I am well aware of clearances and diameters of the pipe needed just not sure what type is used, thank you.

Answer
Hello Mark, what kind of pipe does the stove call for? that is what you should use (metal Bestos, ICC Excel, Dura-Tech to name a few) when installing there pipe you must follow the pipe instructions completely. do not use "B-Vent" this is for Gas
