I don't know whether you know this but when using a stove to heat a
room put the stove in  the opposite side of the room from the chimney.
Then run the stovepipe from the stove straight up from the stove to
the ceiling and then along the ceiling, using mounts to separate the
stove pipe and ceiling, of course, across the room to the chimney.
 
That way you get more heat from the same amount of wood.

When I was a child, my bedroom had a stove-pipe hole in the middle of
the floor, and a chimney on the east wall.  My older sisters said that
when they were my age, they would put a leg down through the hole when
our parents had guests, but a piece of sheet metal had been nailed
over it before I was old enough to take notice.
