It will not work very well. Many days when you open the door the smoke will come out the door. You can purchase a reducer to make it work, but if there is any possible way to install the 8 inch pipe, I would recommend it.

I sell stoves in BC. Codes here dictate that you can only step down the flue size by 1 inch. Make sure you check with your insurance company. They will look for anything to void your coverage if there is a fire. I agree with the fellow above: put in an 8" chimney or get a stove with a 6" collar.
