adapter or 6 inch all the way?

I am putting in a 65000 BTU wood stove with a 6 inch flue. This will be replacing a Heatilator which has a triple wall 12 inch O.D., 8 inch I.D. steel chimney. Could I use a 6-8 inch adapter from the stove to the chimney, or do I need 6 inch pipe all the way out? This is a 15 foot straight vertical chimney.

The place I bought the stove is telling me I need 6 inch all the way. I'm thinking that I can use an adapter from the 6 inch stove pipe to the 8 inch chimney pipe.
