Tiled, painted, trimmed... still have to fill nail holes and do some touch up, but mostly ready for the stove!

The stove is 6.25" from the back wall (I have the fan so the min clearance from the manufacturer is 6"), and the stove pipe at the stove collar is 13" from edge of pipe to back wall.
Giving you just the length of pipe between elbows isn't the whole pic, so here's what I did with the pipe to do that... Out of the stove collar is a 5", that goes into an 18" slip pipe, so about 19 3/8" from stove top to first elbow. From there it goes into the 15 degree elbow. Out of the elbow is an 18" straight pipe with a 12" slip pipe slid on (so visible distance between elbows is 19 7/8"). Then into second elbow. From there a 5" straight goes into the ceiling support collar. The ceiling support comes out of the ceiling with 3.25" sticking out. The top 5" straight pipe is 6.5" from the back wall, making the edge of the ceiling support 5.5" from the back wall. Top of stove to alcove ceiling is 52 1/2", and floor to ceiling is 83 3/4". Even though my clearances exceed minimum, I still used the type-x drywall for added protection.
So with bottom pipe at 13" from wall, and top pipe at 6.5", I guess my offset is 6.5". This was about as close as I could work it to get the stove as far back as possible.
Hope this helps, I know not having done this before figuring out the pipe I needed was about the worst part of it all.. Let me know if you have any questions.

Question.. I asked an installer to come look at what I've done just for the piece of mind before I fire this pig up.. he was asking questions and said I probably shouldn't have put silicone around the sheet metal firestop so that airspace could weep.. he said some people do it different.. should this seam be sealed, or no? The framing you see is the alcove ceiling, and the plywood/sheetmetal goes up into the chimney chase. It's an ICC Excel ceiling support..
