advice on 4" stove pipe, and 45 degree bends

Los Ranchos de Albuq, NM

We recently bought a Hobbit wood stove (http://www.salamanderstoves.com/docs/64/the_hobbit_stove/) on Ebay for our tiny house. First of all, we're having trouble finding 4 inch wood stove pipe and parts. Any ideas on where to find that? We've found lots of 4 inch pipe for pellet stoves, but nothing for wood stoves, and the company can't help us much since they're in England.

Also, there are rafters that are in the way of being able to install the pipe vertically. We are planning on going up as high as possible (3 to 5 feet- we'd like to but a wood storage cabinet underneath), then use a 45 to get out of the wall, and another 45 with a double wall insulated chimney to take us up. Has anyone had experience with a similar set-up? Any drafting issues? Our stove is rated to heat about 300 square feet, and our house is 150, so I'm thinking that will be an advantage (bigger temperature/pressure differential, right?)
