Title: Material under stove in tent
Post by: Billy74 on October 03, 2022, 12:49:32 PM: Ive been using the zip out floor in my Alaknak for the stove but I’d like to use something like a welding blanket. What else makes a good base for a wood stove?

Remove grass/roots and backfill dirt up sides of stove if a stove that sits on the ground.
So simple even a dirt guy can do it.
