Looks like clearances are the main issue, both for the flue but also overhead for the stove. Many stoves have an 84" clearance requirement to ceiling, but not all.

Forget "throught the wall'', and think "through the roof"... Straight shot..

Any rules on how close you can be to power lines? _g
 
What is in that bulkhead over the stove?
 
The roof looks like a 14/12 pitch. I'm guessing you are eventually going to get some flak here for having too much pipe above the roof. There are ways around it, by moving the exit closer to the peak, or adding additional roof structure such as hip roofs, dormers, or a chase, but it doesn't look like that would be something you would want either. Bracing, maintenance, appearance are all an issue here. Even out the side, you are going to have a 14ft scud missile on top. Bracing 5ft down from the chimney cap would need 10ft poles at that point, and probably two sets.

You wont have to much sticking up out of the roof. It gets braced 5' up. Likely another 3' section will fulfill clearance requirements. Easy peasy. Send me a email. I'll send a pic of mine. Works great and is no recognizable missle!

14ft seems like a lot. Doesn't mean it's wrong. Quite a few would disagree with that though.

It is a tall stack and a big lever. It will need good, solid bracing at the 5 and 10 ft levels. Are there any other locations to place the stove?
