Title: Wall Tent Stove Pipe Question/Recommendations/Tricks
Post by: pawpaw1934 on October 21, 2019, 04:31:04 PM: OK wall tenters....looking to be schooled! My wall tent has side vent hole, and uses a large cylinder stove. Great set up but where I hunt, the wind blows like hell......How do you set up your chimney to keep wind from puffing smike into tent? Ive tried capping top pipe, putting a T on it and.......Give me some new ideas!!!

I have a 4 inch hole on stove.
Welded a ring with 5 inch inside dia. Onto stove. Now use 5 in pipe that sits inside ring and fits wall tent better as well.
Then screwed 3 screws through ring into pipe. It isnt coming out. :-)
Outside. Had a stand welded with adjustable height to sit under pipe and secure it together. I can stake it down as well.

Both work amazing

I will never have my stove pipe come out again as we are sleeping or any other time. It was miserable
Hence for new features. Lol

If you read the tent tips and tricks thread you will discover that most the time the pipe comes out in the wind it separates at the stove. I just wrap a piece of wire around the 2nd section up a coupe times and down to the stove. Problem solved.

I just got back from 20 days in my canvas tent with 3 dog stove. I also ran another tent with cylinder stove and a cook shack with four dog stove all set up the same way. No problems and the winds were gusting two days about 30 mph.

When you get up at night to chunk the stove up open the air intake first. Go take a leak than come back and open the door. Less smoke it he tent. Than cut air back down to desired burn level.
I took the damper pipes off all my stoves because the just pug up with pine.

After 20 days the elbows were half plugged with creosote burring pine. Five minutes in the camp fire and they were clean again.
