I would go straight out the roof. The more corners you have in the chimney the more restricted the flow is, which results in less draft.
Guess I've never seen anyone run their stack through the wall, though maybe it would work for a small setup.
2012: Probably 750 gravity taps and 50 buckets.
600 gal stainless milk tank.
2 - 100 gallon stock tanks
one 30 gal barrel
50 buckets
3' x 10' Waterloo Raised Flue wood fired evaporator w/ open pans.
12" x 20" Filter Canner
Sawmill next to sugarhouse solves my sugarwood problem
Gather with GMC 3500 2wd Pickup w/ 425 gallon Plastic Tank.
Been tapping here in Lyman NH since 1989 but I've been sugaring since 8 years old in 1968.
I run mine through the wall. I have the base stack, two 90's then about 12' of vertical stack. I have a 2x6 evap and use 10" dia stack. I get about 30gph evap rate. It works for me and was easier then cutting a hole in the roof.
Thru the roof is best, but if you are dead set to go thru the wall, I suggest you step up to 1-2" larger and make the elbows 45's not 90's. Then have enough length vertical after the second ell. Also make sure the angled portion is not too close to the cieling. Then shield it extra above to keep the intense constant heat from setting the sugarhouse on fire.
Dave Klish, I recently bought a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
