I am dealing with some rear and front clearance issues as the result of my existing heart. A few of the stoves I am looking at would result in the center of the stove’s flue being 3/8” forward of the center of the ceiling mount. Is that within acceptable limits or does the stove pipe need to be perfectly plumb? Stove pipe is ~68” double wall.
 
So less then a half inch? I'd pull the tigger and not look back
