Wood Stove Rear Flue Exit?

[blueridge]

Hello from central VA!

I've had my yurt for ~7 years now, a 24' from Laurel Nest. I have a mini-split as the main

heating

and cooling system, but am getting ready to add a wood stove as a supplemental/alternative for below freezing temps. I've been studying Jafo's excellent write-up on The Yurt Chimney thread and will use that as my guide. I have a couple questions, but will start with this one:

The stove we have is a little Jotul F100. It has the option of top or rear flue exit, currently with the flue collar on the back. This is the configuration my wife prefers. I have yet to see a picture of a stove in a yurt using a straight rear exit going straight out the wall to the T, then up the chimney. Is there a reason other than the exterior flashing having to be extra tall to slip under the roof? I am new to free standing wood stoves. (Grew up with inserts and masonry chimneys, and have a pellet stove insert in my house.) Is there something I am missing or don't know about? Does anyone have a rear exit? Experiences to share?

I appreciate your time. /|\
