Change in stoves, change in height....

[zrtmatos]

I am changing out a loyal Enviro Windsor from 2004 for a newer Enviro Meridian in hopes of increasing heat output. The Windsor was only rated at 34k while the Meridian is rated at 45k. When it was below 20 degrees it just didn't cut it. I am hoping this new Meridian will fill the bill.
The original exhaust height out of the Windsor stove is at 10.5" on center and then through the wall. The Meridian is higher at 18.5" out of the stove. I need to come down about 8 inches. With little room to work in back of the stove what are my best options to alter the height down to the original hole in the wall? I don't wish to make another hole at a different height!
I tried purchasing a t and a 45 in hopes of making the changeover easy. Not so sure this is the best way. Anyone have some ideas?

Thanks for your reply. What recommendation do you have for my situation? I can't be the only one that has been in this situation.

Your gonna have to move the hole, I know you don't want to hear it, but you really have no other choice. Sorry to hear of your woes.

What about converting the opening for the existing pellet vent pipe to an OAK intake port and cutting in a new hole for your exhaust.?

Now that's using your head, I really like that idea, and it would keep the OP from having to fill in that hole.

Recess stove into floor?

Raise the house is the other option. [emoji12]

Perhaps you should go up and then out this time so you don't find yourself in a similar situation next time.

Thanks for al the replies. This unit is in a condo so that's why we went with the horizontal wall termination. Looks like I may not be installing this after all.
