Hey if you have 5 feet or more from the vent try it
but I Bet in a month or so you will see some black Cob webs on the under side of the deck.

I just started my Big E pellet stove,i only get white smoke at the very beging and no black smoke ever. Is there something wrong??

Just because you CANT see it does not mean it is not there.
It will build up in time.

and Yes the start up and shut down mode is where the most PARTICULATES come out of the stove.

I will NEVER install A DV pellet venting not just from the soot but WHEN the power goes out smoke WILL spill into your home if you do not have a vertical rise to draw the smoke out of the stove.

You can get much more accurate air adjustment out of your stove if you have a vertical rise


Also Pellet exhaust Smells bad
If you have an window near by it could come into the home.

I know this an old thread but can one have the vertical rise inside their home, ie 90 off back of stoce with clean out T, up 5 ft, then a 90 and go out 18-24” past the siding with a turbo cap??  Also add fresh air kit directly off back of stove, so it would be 5 ft lower??

I am considering a pellet stove but do not want 20 ft of exterior chimney.

Odds are that depending on the stove, you won’t need 20 feet of pipe.  My englander only has a minimum required 3 ft. rise.  It seems to work quite well.
