I have been tearing my hair out trying to come up with a location for our new USSC 6041PT that will allow it to have a feasible venting location. As stated in a previous post the original plan was to have the stove on a gable wall, but do to window and door locations I'm ruling this out as not feasible. The new location I'm considering is on an eave side wall. I purchased the Simpson Pellet Vent Kit. My concern is the steel roofing on the house. If I use the 90 degree elbow and the 1' section plus the hood it would put the pipe well into the danger zone of ice and snow sliding off the roof. If I omitted the 1' section, and just used the 90 plus the hood I think the roof overhang would be enough to protect it. The latter configuration would put the opening of the hood around 13.5 inches away from the wall. Two questions, is this an adequate distance, and if so can I expect excessive soot on the exterior of the house. I would be grateful for any input regarding this. It seems like every venting and location scenario I come up with won't work out.
