One small point - you usually have a choice of top or rear connection for
the flue. A rear connection pushes the stove into the room a bit more but
it does give you the entire stove top for cooking should you be so
inclined. With a 5kW stove you may find that there isn't enough room
around the flue if it is top connected.

A rear connection is used where the flue is external to the building. A hole is made in the external wall behind the stove.

A rear connection is also used for a conventional chimney if you want.
