I have a Vermont Castings Reliance Pellet Stove we've had since 1992 at least, we like it. Back in Summer 2017 we had a new metal roof put on house and our old flue exited stove through sidewall 3 feet and entered a tee with cleanout leg down, and I had 5 three foot pieces (15 feet) straight up to vent cap above carport, this up pipe was flashed to old roof where it pierced it near eave of carport. Was gonna simply replace as this vent was "old" and outer wall of pipe rotted in places.
I did not have new to put in place then, so we just had new metal roof installed, no flue hole. Plan was I was gonna reroute around edge but then I had a relapse and spent fall prepping for a stem cell transplant. Wife and I spent coldest part of winter at hospital, left house main heat on low, it was a mild winter.
Now … winter is nearing. Thinking of running 6 feet of pipe (pell flue pipe, 3 inch dia.) straight out from stove, and using one of those venturie type horizontal ends that feature a 45 degree turn to exit away from carport wall, … I still have some issues with balance, no ladder / roof climbing for me.
This will still exit well clear of fresh air intake I put in years ago.
