I think maybe I saw such a thing, but maybe I misunderstood what was meant. Does there exist a model where the flue collar comes out the side rather than the back?
side venting woodstove?

Yeah if you turn the stove sideways. lol I don't know of one but that doesn't mean there arent any some one else might know
No picture, but written up on page 5 of the F3CB manual. The procedure is the same as with making it a rear vent stove:
If venting through the side is desired it will be necessary to remove the top casting. Using a 3mm allen wrench remove the two set screws that secure to the top to the side panels. Remove the front door to avoid damage to the glass. Reminder: Loss of the door washer will result in improper door alignment when reinstalling the door.
Using a claw hammer or a small sledge hammer strike the center of the 6” “knock-out” disc from the inside of the stove. The “knock-out” disc will break into four wedges and may need to be tapped out. Touch up any remaining sharp edges with a file or hand grinder. Reinstall the front door, remembering the washer and the top casting.
