This is always tricky. If your starting a new project and have the choice, then put the stove pipe at the peak of the roof. This way you can simply cut a hole in the metal/sheathing and put the stove jack (flashing) on top of the metal roofing with the ridge cap covering the top lip of it. If you must install midway or at the eave of the roof, then extra special care must be taken to prevent leaks. Think about the fact that the water must always be directed down hill, and care must be taken to keep the water from siphoning back up. I use high quality caulk like Proseal or Lexel to make a gasket between metal to metal connections. There are also high temp rubber boots that can make this job easier. More expensive but fast to install. Follow the manufacturers directions and if in doubt, have a professional do the job. I have seen so many homeowner installed chimneys/flashing fail over the years. It results in costly water damage, stove pipe damage and at least a temporary loss of service with the stove. Good luck. I did several of these before I got good at them. Invest in several pairs of tin snips to make the cuts required to do the job.

How do you install a kitchen exhaust fan flue through a standing seam tin roof so it doesn't leak?
Standing seam roofs can be a pain to flash penetrations sometimes because, invariably, the penetration usually lands on one of the seams (Murphy's Law?). My solution would be to have a local sheetmetal shop custom build a flashing for you. It may cost you a little bit, but not near as much as the damage you might incur down the road with a cobbled together leaky flashing. If there is no sheetmetal shop nearby, you might contact the original supplier of the roofing for their recommendation or a lumber yard who sells the roofing product line. If you do get a flashing and are installing it yourself, be sure you get clear instructions on how to cut into the roofing, how to set the flashing and how to fasten and weatherize it properly. Have all the right tools and safety gear for working on a roof. Another way to seal a penatration through a metal roof is with a product called a deck tite pipe flashing system. This is a EPDM rubber boot that fits over and/or arount the penetration. It is installed with sealant and screws through the roofing and has semi rigid metal collar that can conform the the ribs of any roofing. I purchase such products from a company called Dynamic Fastener.
