pellet stove vent

I'm replacing my old pellet stove. The new stove outlet is about 4 inches higher than the old one. Can I use 2 90 degree elbows to reach the lower distance or do I have to drill a new hole thru the wall? Thanks

Welcome to the forums.

While you post pictures, the answer will be not to do it. Smoke has to rise, and it can't rise downhill. If you had the opposite problem, then the 90 degree offsets would work.

Nice call, Larry - I was waiting for the pictures to confirm it would make the smoke go down.

Those two 90s will add quite a bit of restriction. I would likewise find a way to avoid that solution.
