chimney location

[jamesk7]

I am about to install a stove in a small well insulated cabin(12'wide by 16'long with 6'insulated walls) and decided on the jotul F602 CB. Now that I am making plans for the stovepipe and it is a case of the more I learn about this the less I am certain what to do.

My question is what would be the better place for chimney placement - the roof is a cathedral, starting at 8' on the lowside to 12' on the high side, spanning the building width of 12' - I was planning on putting the stove in the corner - on the lowside I would have 6' of interior double walland with clearances I would have 6' of insulated pipe from the roof. Otherwise - if I put the stove on the high side - I would have 10' of interior double wall and 3' of chimney from the roof peak.
Which is better?

I am considering both cost difference and draft.

I should also say that winters here can range from zero to arctic cold.

I've attached a sketch.

Thanks.

Class A (the exterior pipe) is much more expensive than the interior connector pipe. I'd go with the peak set up for lower cost, more heat on the interior and no bracing necessary for the pipe. The lower location would need bracing and maybe a cricket for snow diversion.

I would think that the stove on the low side of the cabin could create a swirl afect as the hot air travels to the high point on the other end and then settles. any thoughts on this? Willing to get bashed for improper thinking if thats the case!
