Well I've written this two times now. I have a wood burning stove that I don't use for wood burning I use Crisco candles inside of it and allow it to heat up like a radiator to keep me warm in an RV. My budget so tight that sometimes I have to use wicks that are smoke and I encountered a problem the other day with the smoke that was really bad. I want to pipe this out the window but I'm finding that the flu size on this stove is 5 1/2 in and I'm only finding 5-in pipes and 6-in pipes what do I need to use a 5-in or 6 in to put their on the flu and pipe it out the window

What stove is this for?
The main issue is safety, but for drafting, a straight-up pipe through the room will vent better. Going out a window and up in an RV brings about problems with draft, mounting, clearances, and anchoring of the chimney.
Sorry if it got missed, but this is only the first post here. From a safety perspective, are the Crisco candles being made by moving the shortening to a non-combustible container like glass?

Yes, the crisco candles are in metal containers for the most part with the occasional candle in glass. I found that's not the best. The stove is designed to cook food. It has two burners. The pipe is merely to send any candle smoke out of the place when these cotton wicks decide to smoke on occasion.
