Yes....'america' has quite lost the abilities to produce
simple earnest things as, a length of 'Stove-Pipe' without
it costing more than the people who made it are themselves
in any way 'worth'...
But...anyway, digressions aside...for now...one possibility
is to visit places as sell the 'triple-wall'...and...see
what they have as had become dented and make them a 'cash'
offer.
One may seek the sympathetic eye of some employee as has
insight and interest in such matters, or who may construe
'dents' as they see fit to do.
One may...or not, as one see fit.
Also, check the noose-papers in the classified section under
'Building Materials', or under 'Stoves and Heating' and see
if you might notice some used pipe for sale...also
Commercial Buildings as are getting torn down or
remodelled...or also check with they as do the salvage or
demolition of such.
One can make their own too, as, to have three Pipes, each
inside the other, with about an inch or what between them,
and it may or may not satisfy some inspector's notion of
'code'.
As the 'triple-wall' need only be immediately where the pipe
go through the Roof, or as well, approximate to the cieling
rafters...the amount would vary with the occasions of it's
passing near Combustible elements of the Structure.
Too...what exactly say the 'code'?
Does it say it must be 'triple-wall'? Or merely that it must
have some level of rating as to the heat it lets pass?
Find out...there may be other ways...to skin the Cat...
Good luck!

Brian, you might check prices/availiability of a double
walled stove pipe
called "AMERAVENT". Years ago it was cheaper than
Metalbestos, and met
code here in Oregon. I haven't looked into it for a long
time, so this
info is rather dated. I remember that Ameravent was said to
burn cooler as
well. Good luck. I personally doubt than you can build a
suitable double
walled stove pipe that will meet code, but worth looking
into I suppose.
