I've had Vermont Castings Defiant and Vigilant models for the past 22 years.
They are tough to beat. If you can find a used one, grab it.
The problem with side wall exhaust is that it increases the resistance in
the chimney system, therefore reducing the draft and increasing the chance
of smoke puffing back into your room. The absolute rule is no more than two
ninety degree turns counting the one out the stuff if it exhaust to the
rear. The thru the roof method is best (one fewer 90) plus you get to heat
the air above you while the pipe is still in the room.

Democracy, for example, arises out of the notion that those who are
equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are
equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.
