I have a wood stove that I'm going to use in my work room that is on the first floor of my house. I was planning on running it out the side of my house and then the chimney go up next to my house. I have a wall thimble to go through the wall, but my question is, can I use single walled pipe for the chimney? It wouldn't be touching the house.
Wood – use single walled stove pipe for the wood stove

As a wood stove owner I can tell you this is a bad idea. You need to look carefully at the wood stove manufacturer's requirements, but most wood stoves need a large draft to operate correctly and loss of heat through a single wall pipe causes too much loss of draft as well as creosote problems eventually leading to a chimney fire, if you can manage to keep your stove lit.
