John,
You may want to check into the insurance requirements and the local building codes. Since your putting the stove into a workshop, and if it's not attached to the house you can probably get by with the single pipe for it. Back home on the farm my father has a wood stove in the house for heat. When we installed it back in 1980, we put in an eight inch chimney pipe. The outer pipe is galvanized with insulation, another heat deflection, air space and stainless steel. Don't recall the price of the chimney, but it was between $800 and $900 as close as I can recall. In 1993, we had to replace the chimney and I almost soiled my underwear. The pipe for the chimney was over $1,100. But at the same time, the insurance company has looked at both installations of the chimney and has never made any comments about not continuing the coverage. When the stove was installed he asked for the name of the stove and chimney manufacturer so he could recommend them to other clients. In summarizing this long post, As expensive as the chimney may cost, it's fairly cheap compared to replacing the contents and structures.

later days mate,
Jim
