Advise request to E/E

I understand that you are available for consultation work but before I get to that, I'd like to inquire if what I want to do is an option. We originally thought of a kitchen island but our design has had to change. We will now be doing a SIPS house next spring... A delay, but it allows us more time, so...
My husband wants a typical stone fireplace with a glass viewer as pictured below and we wonder if its possible to do a rocket stove with pipes run vertically instead of a horizontal bench design? Perhaps masonry would be the best compromise? We really want a rocket so just thought I would ask your opinionon this.

Katie, i'll reply instead of Ernie and Erica!

Yes it's doable! Make a bell! https://permies.com/t/31382/a/13956/chimneybell2.skp?download_attachment=true

Hope this helps!

Thanks! Whew... I was quite concerned vertical wouldn't fly, I will read all that you sent. Much obliged.
