Long time listener first time caller.
Background: I am going to have a pellet stove installed in the corner of my DR in the next couple of weeks. I am considering installing myself and examined the exterior of my home where the vent should go. I have a single story 60s brick ranch w/eight (8) foot ceilings and an attic. Right above the approximate location of the future pellet stove exhaust vent is an attic vent in the eave of the roof. Whether or not I do the install, I would like to place the vent high (~7 feet high) as there is a traffic path on the exterior of the home and I don't want people running into it. BUT I measure this future vent being as close 18 inches from my attic vent.
Finally my Q: Is a clearance suggested/required between the vent and the roof line/eave and/or attic vent? I certainly don't want hot exhaust gases or byproduct rising up into my attic via attic vent. Should the pipe be run straight up through the ceiling and mounted on the roof?
The Hearth looks like a great site for information with a lot of knowledgeable resources. I'm happy I can join it. Thanks for your guidance.
