Purchased this burner from eBay ( I know not the best) but will hopefully serve the purpose for the mancave, it has come with a non insulated flue and I need to put the flue through an insulated roof and wood therefore I need to get an insulated flue that will fit.

dos anyone know what would be the best flue to get and what I can use to convert the size of this one into the insulated one? and if anyone could send me a link that would be much appreciated 

Thank you!!

Take a look at Schiedel ICID system. The ‘distance from combustibles’, plinth, fireproof detailing through the roof and chimney height are important. Probably a BC / skilled installer thing and/or demonstrate you have ‘obeyed all the rules’.

Those sizes look a bit odd. It's generally 4", 5", or 6". Should be a snug fit between sections.

Single wall is cheap and throws out a fair bit of heat. But you can't have it within a certain distance of combustibles. Twin wall can be pretty close to combustibles (~2" from memory).

Non combustible includes masonry and cement fibre board.

 

It's not rocket science but the rules are there for a reason and the consequences of getting it wrong are pretty bad.
