a down vent just sounds like a horrific idea. Seems like it would want to reverse draft into the stove if conditions were right.
I wonder where the Op went? I still would like to see how he was planning to vent the stove. I prefer HK.
Sorry for disappearing. Health issues. Anyways I want to cut a hole in the floor behind the stove and vent down about 12 inches, then a 90 elbow, then run about 12 feet horizontally to exterior wall.

My opinion would be absolutely not for several reasons. Here are 2.
1) never put a down pointing flue pipe on a wood burning appliance of any kind.
2) never put the joints of a flue pipe in an inaccessible area.

Sounds like you're trying to install a stove in the middle of the house? 12 foot of horizontal pipe, under the floor, no easy access.
I certainly wouldn't pursue an installation of this type.
