Stove pipe questions

I think that we are 'safe'.

I ran our eight inch stove pipe, single walled right straight through our steel roof. I used a single-walled thimble.

I did it right at the peak, where one side slant meats the other side's slant. A eight inch diameter hole cut in the steel sheet metal. The flashing was hammered to conform to both pitches, and I pop-riveted it in place.

There is no combustible material for 20 foot in any of the four directions of a compass. The closest combustible material would be the wood floor, 14 foot underneath the spot where the stove pipe goes through the roof. But that floor [directly underneath the wood stove] is covered by a pad of concrete.

I poured a eight foot by eight foot pad of black stained concrete that the wood stoves sits on.
