Is any vent type pipe good for a wood stove in a tent or do you need special pipe.

Any single wall vent pipe is fine, whether blue, black or galvanized. Be sure to do a couple hot burns at home with the galvanized. Gotta cook off the zinc. And stink......

I've noticed some of the steel is thicker than others guage wise.
But your right about burning off the stank.

Nope, no special pipe, solid one piece or snap together stuff will do, most likely you need 6" pipe. I agree burn both stove & pipe outside the tent first, it can take a couple hours to season both & reduce the smoke & stink to a minimum. Nothing like the comfort of woodstove heat for chilly bones & drying out wet clothes & boots!

Don't forget to get a couple of gunny sacks of coal to feed it unless you've got a couple "veteran" hunters in your group that get up a couple of times a night to feed the baby.

He put a grocery store "fireplace log" in. They're full of wax and it will coat the inside of the pipe real bad. We were smoked out at 3am and lucky we weren't burnt up.

Bring some bailing wire and a pliers, incase one of the pipes pops a seam. That happens sometime if you don't seat the edge quite right. Wrap and twist.

A role of that pipe tape (metal with a peel off backing side) has saved the day before.

baler wire has more uses in a hunting camp......taping rifle muzzles not included.

I was burning some brush so I got the stove out and did a nice hot long burn for 2-4 hours, it did a good job of getting the oils and pipe coating burned off or seasoned.
I want to do it one more time to make sure I don't have a stinky rig. Thanks for the tips guys, and your right - there is no subsitute for a good stove.

For some reason I'm thinking we need 5" for our old military tents that we take out there.
thinkin we use 6" outlet stoves & step down to 5 for the high temp donut in the celing insert for stove pipe.
We use the box style spark arestor inside the tent just above the stove too.
It's kind of handy if you can get pipe lengths that fit inside your stove for packing in your truck or trailer, saves space, keeps mess inside the stove and protects the pipe from getting crushed from load shift on some of those nasty trails.
Something clever here.

Gad! that reminds me of an old friend of my Dad's. He put a new wood stove in his house. The stove pipe was smaller than the chimney, so he stuffed and old towel in it. the rest is history!
I had forgotten about that one.
