I built my house 20 years ago and never installed a wood stove although the fireplace is there. I am not looking to rearrange the living room and install that stove. I have an 8" leaving the wall about 6 feet off the floor. The chimney is placed in the middle of the wall and I would like the stove to be to one side of the alcove to make the couch placement better. Can the stove pipe come out of the wall with a 45 degree angle to offset the stove location away from the couch?
Attached are pictures of the living room as it is now and a mockup of how i'd like to have it laid out with the stove offset away from the couch and closer to the TV wall side of the room. We are flexible as we have not bought a stove yet and can choose based on the stoves ability to be offset. ALthough my wife really likes the idea of baking in one and like the Drolet Bistro.
