I want to install a pellet stove in my finished basement. I don't have the clearance at the ceiling to get it through the wall and still have outside clearance. The only way to get it would be to dig down and put something like a window well in. The other thing is that I would have 3 90% turns in the vent. Is this possible?
Placement of below grade vent.

We need some pics of this. I don't have a good enough imagination to even visualize this situation.
As long as the well is big enough to make the clearances, I would think so, but I've never seen it done or mentioned in manuals. I assume the third "90" is to take the outside pipe vertically to get it out of the well? You're definitely looking at 4" pipe with that set up. You'll need to get at least a few above ground level to rule out problems with leaves, snow drifting, etc.
