    Twin wall buddy id say. Single wall be cold there would be a build up of condensation on the pipe and it would take a larger draw of air to get stove goin as hot air from stove will be pumped into a cold un insilated flue

    I was told twin-walled was required for this.

    Single wall flue is fine for the room the stove is in but when you go through ceiling/wall you must go to twin-wall flue and continue in twin-wall to termination point. This is due to the heat the single wall pipe can give off to it surroundings and be a fire risk. Also the flue gasses need to be kept warm in the twin wall flue to ensure the gasses exit properly and don't cause creosote/soot build up at a cold spot of the flue.
