New stove placement

When I place this stove in and hook up to the thimble . Obviously I need to cut the terra-cotta flush with the wall . I’d like to keep this stove off to the left to maintain center of the house . Also to give me some room for clean out area . So being I would need to 45 off the stove up to a 90 then strait back to the thimble . Or would it be best to just place the stove directly in front of the thimble strait up and 90 strait back to thimble ? I know every bend you get a discount in draft . I’m sure that I’m going to have to have a barometric damper some where in the pipe (due to open area and constant wind ). I really appreciate all of your advice and input there is a lot of knowledge in you old magic rock burners ! Thanks for all the help and advice !

I don't see any issues with running straight up to a 90* to the thimble. That is how i have my hand fired set up. you can look back at my posts if you like the post is tagged gibralter mcc.

Use two adjustable 90s. That will allow you to maintain good upward pitch in the pipe and still bring it in straight to the thimble.

A single 45* and 90* will be fine for draft...
One or both can be adjustable...

Since you have this in the basement, I can't see why you would need to cut the terra cotta. Also the least amount of bends, the better. If you can, make your pipe run at a slight angle, to facilitate a more positive draft.

Good point with cutting it off , honestly I don’t need anymore dust . It looks like the cartel rolled a tractor trailer load of cocaine after cutting the hole in the block wall .
