Angled vent rise on house exterior

[burnermike]

I'm going to be installing a stove in the next few weeks and I'm scrambling to draw up a plan for the town building department and order venting.

I have two conflicting requirements:

• I want the stove in the middle of the living room wall so it will blow down the hall to the bedrooms.
• I want to vent out and up so I can keep it close to the wall for extra space, and to evacuate smoke when the power goes out. Power goes out several times a year, and I don't want a smoke-stained living room if the stove shuts off while we're at work or asleep.

I'm thinking go straight out for now to get the stove installed this season, then a year or two later follow up with an angled rise.

Stove vent termination clearance is 1' to windows, 2' under below overhangs.

Two questions:

1. Can I angle the clean out T at 45 degrees to accomplish this, or does the T need to be installed straight up and down?
2. In your opinion, how bad will this look?

Have you picked out your stove yet? Most of the vents are off set to one side or the other. May help u get a strait run up the wall.

Yeah. We paid for it and it’s on the way.

From your reply it sounds like angled exterior venting isn’t common or desirable.

Why not get battery backup so the stove shuts down when U lose power? Cheap Enough. I put in Aims 1250 Inverter/Charger with 100ah battery for when the power goes down short term.

What triggers the stove to shut down once I lose power and move over to battery backup?

I could buy an alarm to wake me up if I was asleep, so I could wake up and shut down the stove. But if we were at work there isn’t much we could do.

Not saying it would not work but it gives a spot for stuff to collect. To me it would look bad having a big grey pipe running all over the side of your house.
My pipe is direct vent out the wall with about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of slope. As long as I keep doors closed I get no smoke in the house. The slope was not on purpose...lol..
Even if the stove is not 100% down the hall u will still get heat. My stove faces a wall and my hall runs down that wall to the right. The stove heats the whole place nicely. I also run a ceiling fan on low

Harmon just came out with recommends for Inverters. I don't like what they have recommend. Non Pure Sine Wave some of them. Requires change to Circuit Board Jumper.

Transfer Switch Specifications:

• 10 A automatic transfer load

I run 100AH battery. It's all new to me right now. Have to do real world test and see how long the battery will last. Math says 8.5 hours. Need lower temps so stove runs all the time. Right now it's stop and start with 30-40 at night.
