Any input appreciated on new nc-30 install

[GlennMike]

I have attached a picture of my existing fireplace and a PDF of the stove, hearth and backing I would like to install. Please let me know if anyone has any input. I have an 1850 SF Cape Cod with a 25' chimney.

The main area I am looking for input on, other then the design would be the piping. I can do the typical 90 deg elbow and through the wall or I can do a 30 deg or 45 deg and go through the angled portion of the wall on the plan. Once inside the wall it will 90 or T and connect to a stainless steel flex liner. The existing masonry chimney angles slightly away from the stove behind the existing masonry, it goes completely verticle at about 7'

Also, do I want / need a cleanout if it will be for the most part inaccessible in the wall?

I did something similiar with my heatform fireplace. It was a lot of work but worth it. I ended up sticking the stove back far enough to just vent out with a 45 right into the flex liner which gradually turns up and out. I plan on sweeping right down into the stove or disconnecting the 45 to connect a plastic bag to the liner.

Thanks a bunch todd, this is very close to what I will be installing except a little wider and a littler taller. The 45 deg pipe into the top of the alcove looks like it works good, I can't wait to get started on this. I have to finish re-siding my house first though :bug:
