If the height is measured from stove top to flue outlet, we still are not above the 16' needed for a proper chimney then. And we will just have to live with that.

Draft varies with the home location, flue height, outside temperature, etc. If the stove gets decent secondary combustion once the fire is going well and the stove has warmed up, then it may be ok. There should be no smoke from the chimney at that stage. If no secondary combustion and a smokey chimney even after the fire is burning hot, then combustion is incomplete resulting in a dirty flue and much less heat then the stove is capable of.
