Thread: Hot Tent

I thought I would share a little project I was working on today.
All ready for winter hunts.
$180 tent and $350 fire.

Following with interest. I Have a floorless army tent in the shed for the same purpose. I’m thinking of using a silicone stove jack for the chimney hole.

Your fire box seems close to the wall? How will you contain the heat back from the canvas?

My Canadian mate says the try to center the heat source in the tent.

CraigC did something similiar a year or so back. May have some feedback…

Hopefully it's far enough away it's very similar to the MIA I brought a stove jack from AliExpress.
I'll measure the wall clearance tomorrow

Fire is 400mm off side wall it can be pulled out further but the flue will be on an angle.

Interestingly a simple Coleman log lantern will heat one of those sized tents quite well. We used to run one on top of a 9kg bottle,eg just brass adaptor between them. It sure threw out the heat and hard to knock over on big bottle. Another trick is to throw big warehouse tarp right over tent and peg down with bungies on both sides,the steel frame on walls give it an air gap between tarp n roof other than on ridgeline.also helped dull noise of rain a little. A fire inside tent is next level completely but those two simple things make huge difference.

Looking at photo again,fire in front? So could still run tarp on rear,framed bit easy enough.

I’ve done the same.

I show my set up in the first minute of this.

DOC estate. No chainsaws.

This is my hot tent setup for the sika roar normally about 4-6 weeks so need a fireplace inside cost 300 for the tent and 100$ for the fireplace so suits camp awesome next roar will be running copper pipe off the chimney to heat the shower water barrel
got to be careful putting stove jack through the top of the roof a good downpour and it will leak bad but it save alot of heat from running out the chimney like my setup
just watched craigc video and thats the stove jack you need that wont leak these flap ones are only ok not awesome like that silicone one

glad this post came up just ordered a silicone stove jack and fiberglass fire mat to stop the embers burning holes in the floor

What stove are you using?
My tent is 11 ft x 11 ft, 6 ft walls with a pitched roof. So approx 750 cubic feet.

A fire box of 800 ci would be required using interweb knowledge.

This would be a mid size Winnerwell stove.

Winner we’ll are made in China so I’m guessing the same stove is sold elsewhere eg ali express.

What have you guys been sourcing?
