Quick question for the group.  My wife and I built a Tiny House on Wheels and moved to Northern Minnesota.  We have a Jotul wood stove, can't remember the model, but its the smallest one they make.  My question is how to vent it.  The house is only 8 feet wide,(and 13 feet tall) but there are sleeping lofts on both ends and the stove is going in closer to the loft for the kids.  My wife is worried about running the pipe up along the edge of that loft and wants to run it out the back of the heater and through the wall, with a T and run it up the side of the house.  Someone told us that was a really bad idea, due to problems with drafting.  Having read through the above posts, as long as we use a double or triple insulated pipe, there shouldn't be a problem, correct?  I know it would be a lot easier to do that, especially at this time of year, as I really don't to be on the metal roof cutting into it right now.
