I am at a crossroads and hope that I might get some help, guidance and opinions on this. I have really found the information and resources on this site beneficial in helping me get where I am.
So here is the challenge. I have a Bosca Spirit 500 that I am doing a corner install. We live at 2600 ft. I would like to do a 3" 45 out of the back of the stove and out the wall but if I were to do that I would hit a stud. Moving the stove out 6 to 8 inches is out of the question as it would put the stove out too far into the room. My thought is to do a 3" 90 out of the back of the stove a 45 to angle back towards the wall and then a 2 ft pipe out to a tee. I would then go up 3 or 4 feet and then do a 90 and then a vent. This run puts me over my EVL of 15 feet for 3 inch. I would like to run the 3 inch from the stove, through the wall, Thimble w/OAK and then use an increaser or a 3" to 4" tee and then run the rest in 4". I am planning on using Duravent Pellet vent and Pellet vent pro as this is what I have available in my area.
Thank you in advance for your feedback and guidance.

Brad
