Hello,

Quoting from your manual...

NOTICE:
Do NOT Terminate Vent:
• In any location that will allow fl ue gases or soot from entering
or staining the building
• In any location which could create a nuisance or hazard
• In any enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as a carport,
garage, attic, crawl space, under a sun deck or porch,
narrow walkway
• Closely fenced area, or any location that can build up
a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered
breezeway, etc.

This leads me to believe that the porch roof is a problem. A carport is not much different than a porch with a roof...

Quoting from the CB1200 manual (mine on order)...

4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade
should be 12 inches (305mm) minimum. This is conditional
upon plants in the area, and nature of grade
surface. The grade surface must be a non-combustible
material (i.e., rock, dirt). The grade surface must not be
lawn. Distance between bottom of termination and public
walkway should be 84 inches (2134mm) minimum.

I don't understand why this wouldn't be in your manual but I think the wood deck is a problem.

You need to read you owners install manual, it has a section on clearances. Treat the piping like a normal wood stove, even though it burns cleaner than a wood stove it still can leave residue and produce smoke if a problem occurs with the pellet stove.
