Looking for opinions on stove pipe run

[302w]

I am replacing my Fisher clone (I'm sorry Coaly) and installing a chimney liner at the same time. Re-using the masonry chimney.

Please look at the photo below. I want to locate the stove on the right side of the overhead (green) beam kind of where the sad looking wood rack is. The intent is to finish the right side of my basement and construct a wall along the beam.

Please give me your opinions on the potential stove pipe run. I'm concerned that it is quite a bit of pipe and may not draw well. I would probably try to run a 45 directly out of the stove to minimize/eliminate any horizontal piping.

Thanks!

Hmm, so are you picturing the stove pipe passing through the newly constructed wall? I don't believe there is a way to do that properly as it should transition to a class A chimney at that point. Might be easier to move the planned partition to the left of the chimney thimble.

Yes that is correct. I'm also not opposed to using Class A chimney. I suspect I probably can't connect class A chimney to the liner thimble though.

Option B is an alcove install, too.

Thank you for the feedback!

You could probably find a way to adapt a section of stainless chimney pipe to the tee snout of the liner, but even so it would be awkward with several bends running horizontally (chimney pipe only gets 30 and 60 degrees elbows BTW, no 45s). This would certainly hamper the draft a bit (whether or not that is a problem depends on the stove, and also how tall your vertical run is) and would also make sweeping the chimney a very difficult task. I'd endeavor to keep the thimble location where it is if possible.
