Chimney Pipe Out and to the Side of the House?

[BussinNoCapFr]

Hi,
What prevents you from going out the wall of a basement and out to the side of the house as opposed to up and through the roof?
Is it literally the '2 feet higher than the highest point of the roof' requirement?
What if you had like 20 feet of clearance between the pipe and the house- is it just a draft concern?

Draft, support, maintenance, aesthetics, smoke getting in the home etc etc etc.

If you use double walled insulatated stainles you can do it. Here is my set up. Goes out basement wall here, convert from regular stove pipe to double wall insulated stainless. Then using a "T" agsin Double wall stainless, go up . Need to have a place for a clean out, hence the T .

What is that metal added to your stove pipe? Pipe is upside down by the way.

Stack robber heatsinks.

Also every chimney manufacturer has a maximum allowable diagonal run and that would be way past that.

I really don't understand what would be gained by doing this regardless. It isn't going to cost less look better or function better

Where/what are you talking about ? The horizontal into the 90 is on the wrong side but going down the 90 is inside the pipe out of the stove.

It's just a hypothetical- it would be ideal in cases where you want a basement stove without going the full height of the building, but it's clear you can't do that.

The black single wall pipe, male end gets pointed towards the stove, this allows and liquid creosote and finer flakes to fall back into the stove rather then leak out of the pipe.

Ya I know that but I had to cut this per SBI's recommendation and it's all I had to work with at this time It will get me through the winter. No creosote drippage yet.

Actually upon further the reveiw the whole 90 is on bass ackwards. I'll tune it up come spring/summer.

The galvanized corrugated looking pieces around the black pipe.
Pretty sure that’s Heat fab pipe, not SBI. I really like SBI single wall. We rarely ever install single wall anymore. Probably 1 in 20 installs these days.

Oh, those things. They just wrap arounf the stove pipe and clip together. They are just a heat sink/cooling fins. It's single wall welded stove pipe. Heavy gauge. Not sure what guage any more now.
