My little mini-stove has the exit at the top - and I don't get smoke leakage out the door.



That's an excellent point, I put the flu in the back because I figured it would be easier to fit a pipe to. I put it as close to the top as I could without interfering with the crimping that holds it on; but now that I think about that means the back needs to be an inch or so higher then the front to keep smoke from going out the front. Thanks for the input!
