All wood stoves are better to be installed strait up when possible. If you have the option go off the top. How tall is your chimney? Being an outside chimney it can be tougher to get a draft going.

Most wood stoves have minimum chimney heights. They are normally around 15' give or take.18' is near a standard minimum so I would recommend using the vertical outlet if at all possible in your set up.
