Our have always been able to be used bottomless. The sibling was designed for bottomless. You need to be careful not to have any dry grass around etc, avoid unexpected problems.

sorry if i stole your thunder kevin....but the firepit idea is a very practical one and if done correctly, makes a very warm and long burning and easy to regulate, heater

agreed, it is practical when used right.

Wham and Kevin,

This hole-in-the-ground-under-the-stove is a brand new idea to me. Thank you.

Now two questions.

1. When I posted here about possbilities of using charcoal or a small open tipi fire inside a tipi I was SUPER warned about the danger of carbon monoxide from any possibly open fire or coals inside a tipi. Tell me more about sealing the gases to vent up through the pipe, etc. Maybe the warm air rising up through the pipe draws in enough fresh air to keep any carbon monoxide from ever seeping out into the tent. I'd be most concerned when the fire burned out and began to cool, like when I'm sound asleep at 3:00 AM.

2. Any tips for frozen ground? My tipi use with stove is limited but has only been when the ground is frozen like iron and frozen deeply.

Frozen ground, it's best to use a full on stove in my opinion. Honestly, I've used bottomless only a few times myself, and mostly with the sibling stoves. With the sibling I have both just used it on dirt, or dug out underneath. I wont get hours of burn either way as it is just too small. Bigger stoves I can get better burn time, but I would not consider it "reliable" . There are a lot of variables.

I have heard several people say Eco Logs work well to extend the burn when you are not packing in. I have not tried them myself, but i have heard 3 reports on it. Eco Logs are compressed wood with no additional additives.

I would avoid coal / charcoal use. Not there have been documented issues in our stoves, but because there have been documented cases in Wall Tent / Stove combo's using these, thus I would avoid it.

Setup on the Cimarron


you can see the subtle angles. Note ground was a little rocky and not super level so getting optimal stake purchase was a bit difficult.
