Siding stains?

Tom,
Will a side vented Pellet Stove effect vinly siding with smoke stains? We are considering having a Pellet Stove installed in our Salt Box home, tovent past the peak of the roof would be very costly. So we thought of thedirect vent through the wall.
Thank you for the advice.

Hi Dick,
I have done two sidewall vents and have about 4 years on the older installation, with no indication of staining. That is not to say that if the stove is not maintained, that it can produce sooting, but I think theyare pretty limited in their ability to do that.
