Is this a window unit or the outside compressor sitting on the ground? What kind of clearances? If you can include a simple diagram or an outdoor shot of the proposed location it will be easier to judge.
You condensor will get full of ash and black crap from the pellet stove. I have seen where caps are near the ground and the ground is covered in black crap and ash.
Pellet stove fallout may be a touch dirty. Get a cover and duck tape it in place. Fallout from a grinder type corn stove will leave it and the surroundings covered in soot like a coal mine. Its corrosive too. Still, straight pellet fallout isn't all that bad. It is messy but nothing near what corn fallout is.
