I have an Englander 25-pdvc that I got used from my nephew. I installed it just recently. I ran the vent through the outside wall to a clean out "T" and then straight up. I wanted to run it high enough to go just above the roof line to keep any blackening of my siding from happening. As I said it goes straight out the wall and then up about 8'. Is this too much rise? Can you have too much rise? Just wondering about this to avoid any future issues. Thanks.
 
sounds fine for me, and you got Mike from Englander on the forums to help you when the stove has a problem. Your in good shape
 
Check the manufacturers guidlines for "equivelent vent length". You should be able to calculate your total and as long as you are within those guidlines your install will work fine.
 
I have a 22' rise on mine using 4" flex pipe and it works fine, so far as I can tell.

I'm guessing that your pipe from the stove out through the wall has to be at least2-3 ft long, plus the T, and 8ft of vertical pipe, so your EVL is right around 12. That should be fine. Make sure the top of the pipe is at least 2' above the roof.
