Can I run the T on the outside of the posts I installed to support my chimney outside of my yurt wall? I had someone dig them for me and unfortunately they're too close to the wall of the yurt to fit the braket in and a bit too close together to slide the T in between.
My thought is to spread them a bit to fit the T between them and put the bracket on the outside of the posts instead of on the side closest to the yurt
Yes, like this.

ok, Yes some pics would be great as I'm not following, but someone else might be?
The posts are way too close to the wall of my yurt to fit the bracket in. Is it possible to run it on the outside of the posts and put the T in between the posts? I know I might have a problem with draft but will it be significant. We don't live in this yurt. Just guests staying occasionally and kids playing in it. We may use it for day programs for kids
 
If there more than one post, how far apart are they? If only one post then remove and reset it.

PS: the firewood needs to be stored under cover. Maybe under the yurt platform if there is room?

Yes, it looks too close. You have to maintain a certain distance between the outside of the pipe and combustibles. Both the side of the yurt and the wooden post are combustibles. *** removed comment about post

Remember all the stovepipe, chimney etc are all brand specific connections.

Since you'll be going through the wall with the stove pipe, you also have to watch the clearances to combustibles. Since it's a top exhaust, you will need to use a 90 to go from vertical to horizontal. Then it needs to connect to the class A chimney pipe and go out through the side wall with a thimble. Then to the tee support bracket. The pic above is a good pic of exactly what the setup should look like (except yours will be to the side of the post).

What brand is your stove pipe? Do you have any of the class A chimney pipe?

@begreen since the pipe goes through a non-rigid wall, other than the outside tee bracket is there support needed at the yurt wall to prevent sagging? I'm thinking about the weight of the class A and the the stove pipe connection specifically.

I need measurements, both between the posts and the posts to yurt wall distance.

That's not been an issue at all with the yurt I pictured above. It's been up for about 15 yrs and 3 poles in that time. (The last pole is metal.) The 24" tee snout extension is rigid and locked into place. I haven't noted any sag.
