My install was done by a licensed stove installer, so if it isn't right it will be on their bill. He came straight out the back of the stove,
put a tee, up about 5 feet or so, and then out through a thimble to the outside of the house. Two 90"s total. The pellet stove piping
actually goes through the existing wood stove chimney but out the other side about 20" from the ground. I was told I wouldn't have
to worry about snow in the area of the exhaust.... I'll soon find out. ( The stove is in the basement of the house, BTW.)
 
I had to shovel out around the vent last winter... we had some big snows.
