Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Chimney setup on wall tent

+1 Use the least number of bends possible.

A single 45 is plenty to get the pipe out the side. More bends equal more creosote and less draw.

PS I thought it was part of the nightly ritual to clean the spark arrestor when you go outside to take a leak.....Otherwise how do you get your hands warm?

Why go outside?.........

If I go with a 45 off the stove, do I keep the pipe at 45 all the way past the peek of the tent?

I don't...........

that statement explains a lot more than you think.

I go out the side on mine. It's not a straight 90/90 set up, but I adjust the angles to create a slight incline as the pipe exits the tent. I run the pipe 2 1/2 - 3 ft out the side then up. I drive a length (or 2) of 1/2" EMT into the ground along side the verticl pipe at a slight angle to the upright part of the pipe. Then I fasten the pipe to the EMT with baling wire on the horizontal pipe as well as the upright pieces. This setup has ridden out some nasty wind, allows me to tarp, and keeps snow melt or rain from running through the wall jack. My stove came with 5" pipe, which I quickly changed to 6", not only to match the collar, but it drafts twice as well.

Forgot to mention; I use a chimney cap, but I like the idea from one poster about the tee.

Tried out my wall tent and stove for the first time this week on a deer hunt. This is how I ended up setting the chimney. I placed a single sheetmetal screw at all the joints so they wouldn't seperate. Didn't need for any exterior support and nothing even budged even though we got some good wind. The only change I might do is reverse the pipes so creosote will not drip out the joints.

I'll bet that will work pretty good. You will get quit a bit of heat from that much exposed pipe inside your tent as well as what the stove puts out. You could go up one more pipe vertical then out and move the stove closer to the wall. the smoke will go up the vertical a little faster and increase the draw some if you need it. I would try both and see what works best for you.
The pipe is exiting fairly close to the peak so you will not get as much movement from the wall moving back and forth. It would be easy to throw on a "safety wire" to the upper frame from there to secure it even more if it's really windy. Now some dry wood and you will warm and toasty.

Here's how I did mine. I did use it some this yr but didn't need it much. It worked fine and deff. will run you out if you stoke it good.
