Running Chimney 6' Horizontal

[Busy_Bosco]

Hi all, first time here. I have a new pellet stove and want to place it against the wall that supports my main staircase.

The problem is that when I lead the chimney through the wall it needs to travel 5-6 horizontal feet before going through the exterior wall of the house, where it will go vertical.

Basically a BIG uppercase L. All the pictures and video I see show the chimney go out the back of the stove a couple feet before going vertical, but I may go out the back 5 or 6 feet.

Anyone have a similar setup? Does this seem like it would cause an issue?

Just curious. I won't hold you to it. Thanks for reading

What does your manual say? Is what you want to do an acceptable venting configuration?

Check to see if it passes code. I’d be surprised. You want or just how it looks?

Everything I read about my stove or other stoves makes no mention of running the stove pipe out the back 6 feet horizontally, so I'm posting here to see if anyone has a similar configuration.

Thanks for reply.

Running it horizontal for that distance will cause a build up of ash and soot, a pretty big fire hazard if you want the truth.

Which stove do you intend to install?
We may find the answer in the manual...
