No. Wood burning stove requires triple wall pipe, not double. Wood burns very hot.

Most likely yes. Check with a store that specializes in wood burning stoves. they can tell you exactly the type and size of the of the venting materials required.
Your local building inspector can also help. If yur going to use a wood burning stove, let your insurance company know. If you dont and you have a fire, the insurance company does not have to pay.

These two people who tell you about triple wall are right on target, and you had better listen, with a lot of the building products used today especially on the exterior of the home. (vinyl siding, styro insulation, asphalt siding and roofing it wouldn't take long to start a fire. I've seen some people put a fireproof shield on non-combustible material and spacers keeping the shield an inch or so off the wall. Don't worry your not going to do overkill.

Like the other fellows said, triple wall pipe. Better safe than sorry, it will also perform much better, your chimney has more to do with generating a "draft" than the stove . Go to woodheat.org, excellent information.

It depends on the distance from boundary of property, if within 1 metre of boundary it needs to be twin wall, also required where flue is within 200mm of combustable materials i.e. in close proximity to fascia boards.

Double wall is called "B VENT". This works for gas burning appliances. What you need is triple wall, called "C VENT". Wood burns hotter.

If you are not sure I would contact a builder or local council with regards to building regulations as if there is a problem in the future your insurance may not payout
