All of us here the stove manufacturer the pipe manufacturer and the code writers are telling you it is not safe. Get doublewall pipe and a probe thermometer to go with it.

When you switch to double-wall stove pipe, get a probe thermometer. That will provide more accurate flue gas temp readings than reading off the surface of single-wall pipe.
yes, the probe meter is actually a better way to monitor flue temps. Like checking the thanksgiving turkey to see if it’s done I prefer a probe.
The oak is not an option due to your basement but that’s no real loss on an nc30 since only one of four intakes is fed from the oak nipple.
Since my stove pipe application is not vertical then 90 degrees and then horizontal will I still be able to run it how I currently have it with double wall pipe? Not sure if you have the flexibility with double wall as you do with single wall to run it in different ways
I do that as well. I like to believe that it also reduces wear and tear on the lower portion of the stove which would, otherwise, be exposed to some very hot coal temperatures on a regular basis.
