Just wanted to see if this was normal of discoloring near the cap? It’s a new stack, just wondering if this is ok we heat our house with this stove 24/7 for the last couple of weeks. Thanks for the advice in advance

No worries, mine did that when I first installed new double steel. I'll let the experts chime in soon. Sweet stove by the way. From Brielle, welcome to wood burning.
 
looks normal to me...every stack I ever had looked like that..I burn 24/7 on mine and have had for the last 5 years and its a little darker than yours...just keep it brushed...
