Currently I have a Resolute III and use an elbow on my stove pipe. Has anyone used a Tee in place of the elbow? It would save a lot of work to be able to remove the cap on a tee and inspect or clean the horizontal pipe during the heating season. Any drawbacks to using a T other than it may look strange?

Here is what I am referring to. This is from a VC booklet on stove installation. Wondering if anyone has theirs installed this way and if they like it?
