You already got the stove for free and now you want to cheapskate your way out of a proper chimmney?

Sorry, it's your deal, do as you see fit, but my $.02 says "there's a time and place to save money... and this ain't it".

And forget the thru-wall deal. They get cold and draw poorly. Run the correct pipe straight up thru the roof. Yeah, it's more work, but you only have to do it once instead of live with a stove that won't draw for the rest of your life. Be sure to follow the setbacks for your particular stove. Often they are 36" and that makes them unfit for smaller garages.

Me, I'd tell him to keep it, install a $200 electric heater near the ceiling, run the proper 220v service to it, and then turn it on/off as you need it. Unless you spend a lot of time in the garage, this might be the cheapest long-term solution. It also gives you instant heat.
