I'd advise you to do three things. Check your local building code, check with your responding fire department, and check with your homeowner's insurance company. As an insurance inspector, I can assure you insurance companies get EXTREMELY nervous when they see any wood stove, moreso when it's something a homeowner has put together himself.
If I encounter a wood stove when I'm inspecting a house, I have to fill out a separate report form on the stove. Besides details and photos of the stove and installation, questions asked on the form are, who installed it?, was it professionally installed?, after installation, was it inspected by the local fire department?, who cleans the chimney?, how often is the chimney cleaned?, etc.
You can obviously do anything you want, but you need to be aware you could wind up without homeowner's insurance. And if you do anything without your insurance company's knowledge they'll bail out if you ever have a problem relating to the stove.
