Thread: who's running a tipi ? either hot or not

Stove options for proper walk in tipi's are pretty limited

I have the winnerwell fastfold titanium which is 2 kg in its carry bag and with a pair of fire gloves which you should have
It's perfect for a 2 to 4 man tipi

Winnerwell do make an ultralight fast cold now that's even smaller but only 1 kg
It would be ideal for a smaller tipi or a larger tipi for only 3 seasons

Light and ultralight tipi stoves need to be feed pretty regularly
The temperature inside can sit around a comfortable 25°
But when you want to cook you stoke it and the temperature rapidly increases so you need to micro manage the roof vents

The big up side is being able to dry out gear in the tipi apex.
You will be able to go to bed warm and dry and get to sleep more easily

I have woken up with -12° inside the tipi
Light the fire from bed ( everything prepared the night before ) and have the inside temperature at +25° in 15 minutes

Obviously not much use above the bush line if there is not readily available fuel
But great as an alpine fly in shelter if you have enough weight for fuel in the helicopter
