It's a Drolet eldorado which I stole at 525.00 plus an 11% rebate (minus another 52 bucks -- thank you Menards).
Anyway, from the photo you can see the fireplace it will sit in front of.
The very top of the outlet is 15" to the lentil (where it sits now, on the floor).
I'm putting a top plate up where the damper was with my pipe inlet.
Where it sites now, I would have to lay 3 sections of tile and really don't like it's proximity to my rug. BUT, doing it that way, i could possibly use (2) 45 degree elbows and eliminate a 90 degree coming out of the stove top.
BUT -- honestly, what I would prefer doing, is actually building a platform about 5 - 6" high and only use 2 sections of tile coming out to the room.
I would have more walk around space and if I raised it, I could slide the stove back a litte into the fireplace opening, where the blower is. Of course, then it would probably have to be a pretty sharp 90 degree because I would reduce the space from 15" to around 10.
Tell me you think the 2nd option would be ok because it's what I'd really like to do.
I plan on cleaning the pipe every year and hell, if I even have to replace the elbow I will.
Is there a problem with having a 90 so close to the stove like that?
