That's easily AI+P....grin

I always rummage through the tack room before I leave. These are handy to hang from the peak pipe or wall pipes. great for the lantern, hanging oats, hanging clothes to dry.......





And as you can see, I vote floor. Been in the tent during heavy rains and the water was running along the ground under the floor coming out in the bare area by the stove. I vote floor

Especially if beans &/or chili were on the menu.

What do you reckon the load rating might be on the ridge bar? Could it handle a pretty good load of wet garments?

DO you guys have CO detectors in your tents with those wood stoves?

Huntsman I really like the side wall vent for your wood stove. Eliminates alot of problems with through-roof pipe vents!!

Yup, but tent makers these days,just can't seem to get their asses outta the 18th century.

Just 'cause grampa's went thru the roof.....

But grampa had ember holes everywhere, and his tent leaked like a sieve.....

I don't use a CO detector in the tent. I have heard that guys that use propane heat do, but I'm not sure I have heard of anyone using one with wood.

I would imagine the load the ridge pole could handle would be enough for one or two hunters clothes. just have to be careful when hanging items and see if it makes it start to sag.

Wood doesn't put out CO2 as a byproduct. Propane does. When it doesn't get enough air, it puts out CO instead of CO2 and that's what's dangerous. If wood doesn't get enough air, it just smokes and runs you out.

Don,

What do you use to hold the stovepipe up on the outside of the tent? I played with that a bit, but felt I would need some kid of brace or rod to hold it up?

The stovejack holds it nicely, if there is no wind. If the wind starts, I just run a piece of tie-wire from the ridge grommet to take a couple dillywhirties around the pipe, down to the eave grommet.

That stove jack on the wall makes sense for a few reasons. No hole in your roof/fly. No burns in your roof/fly. I's think a short horizontal end piece would prevent rain/snow from coming down the pipe too.

Mine is through the roof. Only advantage I see is having nesting stovepipe that can stow easily inside the stove.

A pipe 'T' works most dandily...

That'll work.

I am going to have a stove jack added to the sidewall on my tent. Then plan on getting a decent length of 3/8" rebar and using it was a pipe support. Drive it in the ground a foot or so then wire the pipe to it.

The endwall works better'n a sidewall......

I don't want to go out the end because I don't want to lose my ability to have a porch setup. I have found the porch to be nice for storing gear, extra wood, etc out of the weather.

They gots two ends for a reason......Ya don't need a fugging back porch, too....

Thanks for the response Don. I had mine out the sidewall. Brain clicked a bit after I saw your picture.

But The door is at the front and Id rather not haul wood from the front to the back.

Well, of course not. You are probably one of those guys that likes floors......grin
