Hi All,
I'm considering getting the harman p68 to install in the corner of my living room. Due to the space requirements I may pick up the side heat sheilds so I can put it 9 inches from the wall instead of 13 inches.
The question I have is around venting the exhaust pipe. In the install manual: http://hearthnhome.com/downloads/installManuals/P68.pdf on page 13 figure 15 it shows the minimum flue install option. basically this install has the exhaust pipe going directly out the side out of house with a 12 inch extension. Is there any down side to doing this type of exhaust setup. I know if power is lost without the raising stack pipe smoke could come back into the house but I may be willing to take that chance instead of having a rising stack pipe on the side of my house. It doesn't change the efficiency of the stove burning does it with the straight out pipe or the pipe extending 5-6 feet up?
Also any feed back on this stove? Good stove, good heat?
