Don't skimp on the chimney. You can go cheap and regret it or go triple wall stainless steel and never have to worry.
I have a Russo in my boathouse and I had the whole building insulated with closed cell foam in the walls and R38 batts in the ceiling. Place is like a thermos bottle. Stays warm all night if I burn for 3 hours in the daytime.
I have the chimney cleaned every year ($120.00) and don't worry about any of it.
