Wall thimble install?

[roundeye]

Im in the process of shopping around for a pellet stove and it looks like the best place to install the stove is in the dining room. Only problem is the dining room is in the front of house and on the exterior the house has stacked rock cladding. There is a big oval area on outside of house where there isnt any rock cladding, which is where the outside light is mounted. We dont use the light and was going to remove it. Its not a big enough area for a big square wall thimble to mount on the outside. I wanted to run the vent pipe on inside and just have the end of vent pipe going through the wall.

Is the entire wall stone?

Its wood siding underneath the rock cladding. Not sure how hard it wood be to remove some if needed or how it would look.

Just a little fyi you will get some soot staining around the stone from the exhaust.

You have to use a thimble. The pipe needs two inch clearance to combustibles.
