If your replacement has a 6 outlet then it needs a 6 flue but then so does the one you already have. You also need to know the diameter of the chimney. If it's too large then it will not draft well. Even plugging a stove designed for a 6 flue into an 8 flue can cause problems. This is a case

Correct. I think code calls for same size flue from stove to top of chimney (or larger than the stove), and you have to be able to get at the flue for cleaning, that usually means a lower cleanout port as well as the top, which means few ells/kinks. If the room is really airtight you will
