Hello all. My apologies if this has been covered already. I’ve been running a USSC 6041 pellet stove for the last 10 years. I’ve replaced a few parts during this time to keep it running but it’s time to replace it.
While out looking for a new stove I’m seeing all the vents are on the left hand side now which is opposite of the one I have. My stove sits between two windows centered so moving the new stove over will put it directly in front of a window which I don’t want.
Can a stove be ordered with the vent on either side? Is there a safe way to vent to the existing hole through my wall? Any ideas or information would be greatly appreciated.
 
I don't know about ordering a special configuration. Having a couple of different stoves in the same spot that went from a corner install to straight on install, and those stoves having different exhaust heghts, you may have to use some elbows to get to the vent pipe.

I have a Quadrafire MVAE and it vents out the center of the back.
