I have purchased a new 6000CL fireplace and want to vent directly out the back. I have 14 inches from the back of the unit to the outside wall. I have been told locally that the draw is not as good as using the top.

Our Answer:

Indeed, a top-vent application that has a one or two foot rise before elbowing 90-degrees through a wall is preferable to a rear-vent. However, in most cases a 14" rear-vent run is perfectly acceptable and should work fine, as the normal maximum straight horizontal run is around 20".
