So something between 38,000 and 72,000 btu per he, if I read the data correctly.
That suggests that most BK models are too small. The Princess (51,000) could work though.

Others will have good suggestions for non-cat stoves.
 
How tight is your home? Did you run fresh air on previous units?

Keep in mind moving forward, ceiling fans can create spillage issues requiring you turn them off during start up and reloading.

You may want to place the vertical to horizontal transition into the chimney based upon the stove you decide on...read mfgs recommendations.
 
4 Inches how is that possible? it farther that that to the wall
That should have been 4' not 4". But that is vertical rise
 
Using the height of doors and windows as a gauge, it would seem 27’-28’ height above the stove with 2 90s. Build a raised hearth and you can drop that a bit more; with a damper that should be workable. No doubt I would install an access door to a clean-out for easy cleaning (easy to do a mid-season inspect & possible clean also). Select the stove you want and review mfg. specifications but should be doable.
