I did not see mention of a jack for the pipe where it goes through the tent wall.
I put sand at the bottom of the stove box so the heat would not damage the bottom of the stove.
Set the stove up in your back yard along with the chimney and fire it up. That will burn off all
of the coatings and break in the box. If you do it in hunting camp, that smell can be strong and will get into your clothing.

Good point on breaking in the new stove!

I have two tents that I set up for my camp, one is a Bighorn III just like you have and the other is a Montana Wall tent. I use the Cylinder Stoves (that you have pictured) in both tents. You can get by cheaper - if you're packing you can get by lighter -  but if you go with that stove you will not be disappointed. It comes standard with a side tray and you can also get the hot water tank.

Been drawing up some plans for stoves here during break time at work. Thinking about building a prototype just for the fun of it.  :chuckle:

It's almost Beer:30 so I'm headed out the door. I might whip up a prototype tomorrow and see how much I have into it.

Its a small project compared to what we normally do.  :chuckle:

Thanks for all the input, advice and offers everyone has contributed to me. I actually acquired all the materials (except stove pipe) and built the stove today. I'm thrilled how it came out. I had a nice fire in it this evening. Tomorrow I hope to finish a couple of details and get it painted. When it is all done I will post some pics along with all the details of the build.  :)
Thanks again

I ended up using a propane tank for the stove body. It came out real well. I posted pictures of it under general discussion.

I know those round stoves are popular now, but I have the old rectangular kind and I hang a hot water tank on the side. I don't like to bath in cold water nor wash my hands and face in cold water. I also do not need to heat the water on top of the stove as it is always hot as long at the fire is burning. My hot water tank hold about 4 gallons. It has a nice spigot. Plenty for most chores.

my huntng partner and i bought a diesel stove like the army uses, no more cutting wood for a day when we get to camp, it's very fuel efficient.

I like the side water jackets. Great things to have in a hunting camp.
