Hello! I have a Nu-way propane stove (link at the end) for my deer blind, which is a metal flat roof (pitched a little) with about 3" over hang in the rear.
It calls to be vented out the roof, or out the side and above the roof (90 degree out then 90 degree up with a rain cap), to get carbon monoxide mitigated above the roof.

I was wondering considering my overhang is only a few inches and it's sealed if it would be fine to vent out and leave flat against the wall (think like a dryer vent on the side of your house) instead of having pipe sticking out. My blind is built with trees all above it and it's a legitimate concern branches could fall and smack the pipe damaging it, so a wall vent seems ideal (flush against the wall or the type that point downward)

If I did this is there any legitimate risk for monoxide to get back in the blind considering the short overhang and the fact that the blind is sealed and not open such as if it were to have soffit?

Id go above the roof. Sealed or not arent you going to have window open? You dont want it sucked back in.

Only people I know more crazy than deer hunters are fisherman. My buddies who are serious fisherman would admit that they would soon drown than do certain things...

"hey man shouldnt you have a life jacket on in 3 foot swells"...

"no man, I just cant cast right into that grass bed over there if I had a life jacket on so it is what it is"...


"hey should we be doing 75mph on the lake in an 18 foot bass boat with a 350hp motor on it"

"yea man, we gotta get to the spot before anybody else"

"we are literally the only ones out here at 445am"...

Well you can just remove the battery on the CO detector. Unfortunately, then you will miss the deer because you will be dead.

Seems to me burning a propane furnace in the blind would announce my occupancy to all. Deer will smell the by-products of combustion and learn to avoid the when present. Better clothing would help more.
