Well, I'm sitting here in the living room watching the snow, feeding the stove, listening to the instaweather alert evey 5 min. We're now looking at 72.3" at Baltimore Washington International for the year.......we usually get 15-18".
So, I'm currently venting my castine to the rear out the wall and up 24'. I haven't yet finished off the wall protection with stone so I can still easily make adjustments to the set up. I was wondering if there is any advantages to topventing the stove? Would the additional single wall pipe make a substantial impact in heating the room?
I suppose another consideration would be if I were to change stoves down the road. If the thimble is 10-15" above the stove it would give me some flexibility in the future.
What do you all think?
Here is a photoshopped version of what the rear vent would look like:
