I'm in the beginning stages of chimney installation and I'd like to design the chimney system so that I am able to top vent my Jotul Oslo before taking a 90 back - through a wall thimble to at T and up the exterior of the house.
How much height off the top of the stove must I have before taking a 90 elbow to the T? The reason I ask is: there is a wooden mantle above the stove which limits clearance to the black stovepipe (even with double wall). I probably could only go up 15-18" before I would have to elbow back and keep the 8" clearance to the wood mantle! Would this be a mistake? Everything I've seen has recommended using 2ft of vertical run before the elbow.
Thanks.
