Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a Hot Tent Stove
If you have a hot tent stove or are thinking about getting one, consider these things first. Often times people get the wrong size or type of tent stove for what they want to do with it. In this video, I cover things like stove size, tent size, the type of wood you burn, burn time, and whether or not it’s worth it to splurge for extra glass. I hope you find it helpful!

A lot of information, fast…thanks, from…an old man in the hills of east Tennessee.
Ive got a couple of these tent stoves permanently installed in my house in rooms i use the most
Do you worry about carbon monoxide while sleeping though the night with stove burning?
How big can you go with a cast iron pot and still get a more or less even spread of the heat? Is the maximum diameter the width of the oven top or the distance from the front to the chimney? Or something else?
Have a Tentipi Safir 9CP and a Woodlander double view love them.
Looking at the smaller stove in this video it seems like that is a fixed stove pipe; meaning it’s not the kind you roll up to make a pipe like I see on many videos. Is that correct? I’m a little leery of those rollup kind do you have any advice regarding that? thanks again for great information.
Great video. Thank you!
Can you burn coal in these stoves?
I noticed both of your stoves also have burner lids. Do you prefer your stoves have that over just a solid top?
A good trick to hold heat in the tent is to, if you can, find some rocks and place them under the stove. They will capture and hold heat, and radiate it off when the fire starts to die down.
Thanks for the information…Have fun stay safe.
Good stuff thank you
A hot tent stove at present isn’t a good design worth having because it requires constant firewood every 2 hours so someone has to stay awake to do that, until someone comes up with a design to feed that stove on it’s own it’s just not worth the trouble
hi, what material you use UNDER the stove on the tent floor, and also at the top where the chimney go out??? and where to buy it, I have zero idea what is it
Good video! Been wanting to get into this hobby for a few years. I think this winter will be the one.

Very few cold weather campers want to anything to do with hot tents. Why? The typical tent stove is too small to burn the amount of fuel (dry hardwoods) needed for meaningful heat for more than a couple of hours. You will be playing with the stove all night long. Daytime heat and cooking fine, but overnight YOU provide the heat, your equipment provides insulation.
I appreciate the detailed video, especially concerning the types of woods.
Thank you
Which stove would you recommend for the yurt style tents, the Winnerwell or another brand?
Good wood info. Bear brick looks good
You failed to mention how hard it is to light a fire using hardwood like oak by itself! Behind the cabinet shop in town is the offcuts ( yes I asked first ) and oak and maple off cuts from furniture building really make nice fires. I have the smaller stove and I am still in the process of trying to limit the air intake so that it burns longer .Since I bought my stainless stove it has doubled in price !
You have no idea how much I learn from you. As a single old lady that grew up thinking "roughing it" meant a Hotel with no pool-everything is new to me! My husband tried to get me to camp once when we were young. I burst into tears because I thought he was taking me to woods to kill me. Why else do people go to ewww woods?! Yeah. I blame my upbringing 🤣. Thank you. Seriously. I’m a successful Nomad because of awesome people like you. Take Care. Hug that wonderful wife & keep being an great example to the wee ones.
Thanks, that was a very good and informative. Stay warm😊
Big & small , I get it !
Would a gasket around the door be beneficial?
Whats the tent youre using at 2:20 ?
Is there a secret to keep your glass see through while fires are burning! Mine ALWAYS turn black very fast and i cant see the fire
Could you put one of these in an enclosed space such as a shed?
The radiation heat transfer emissivity coefficient for glass is between .94 and .92. In other words glass is an insulator with terrible characteristics for a stove. Gypsum for example is better at .84 even, while polished steel in as low as .075 making it a great conductor of radiant as well as conductive heat. Time for a refresher of your thermodynamics class, so misinformation gets cleared up. Glass does make the tent so much nicer at night on the other hand that I plan to have the optional glass side window if I go with the winnerwell. A more efficient stove however seems to be the Four Dog line of stoves – I’d love to see a side by side review if ever you get one. Perhaps they would send a tester?
Replacement glass where to order from
