Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Wall tent stove?

I have only used the 50 gallon drum conversion. I think you can used them on the smaller drums too.
get the barrel for free and about 50$ for the kit. then you'll need black 6" pipe and some elbows. I use a china cap as my pipe goes out the roof and not the side. out the side you'll need a support/steak.
On my last section of the 6" chimney pipe, I drilled about 20, 1/2" holes in to get extra air in the pipe to burn off embers before exiting..
I also installed a piece of 1/4", 12x12 steel plate on top that my buddy had laying around. On this we put on a Big pot with a spout for our hot water.

Another vote for the 4dogs, used mine in night temps between 0 and 15 last year on late season elk in AZ and kept my tent plenty warm. Will agree with the stoking tho, got about 4 hours out a couple large pieces of mesquite. Might try the kingsford this year. Mine was only a 12x12 tent an i had their 3 dog model i believe, it was whatever they recommended for that tent size. Heavy and kind of pricey but well made.

Had a 4-Dog stove and liked it. The front vent looks like it'll let sparks out, but it doesn't. As others have mentioned, the baffle provides a hot spot for cooking but it also prevents sparks from going up the flue. Never saw a spark fly out the flue, nor had burns on my tent.

The owner of the company is a straight shooter. I spoke to him before ordering my stove. Was going to buy a water jacket, but he recommended a big kettle instead. Reason being that you can carry the hot water where you want, like outside the tent. I kept the kettle on one stove shelf all the time where it stayed hot but not boiling. Sliding it over to the stovetop got it boiling quick. Saved a decent amount of money compared to the water jackets, and appreciated the advice. He had quite a few other camping tips, and I enjoyed the conversation.
