Nice tent. Thanks for the look. Add a couple of pipe sections to raise the arrestor higher so that embers have time to burn out before reaching the tent - and also a screen arrestor as suggested.
Hi Enoob, Thanks for the suggestion! Yes perhaps a couple of extra lengths and a screen arrestor will solve the issue. I was thinking on adding a section of pipe with damper to help control and prolong the burn as well, so that will extend the height. Appreciate the suggestion and thanks for watching!
Hi Jacqueline. The tent without the inner mesh is only approx 4lbs. I would say it is light enough for back country use. (This is our intention) I am planning a solo trip with it soon! The holes were caused by sparks coming out of the stove pipe. I explain at the end of the video. Planning some changes to the stove pipe, which we hope will remedy the problem. Hope this helped you out!
Recently bought this hot tent as well. I recently got into this type of camping. Being from South Louisiana I had never heard about hot tent stoves, being it doesn't get very cold here. And if it does it's not for very long. I'm in my 40's and have never enjoyed camping more than I do now with this setup. Thanks for sharing. Gave a 👍 and subbed.
Hi there! Tent stoves in Ontario sure make camping nice! We have winter camped without a heat source and its manageable with good gear, but not nearly as enjoyable! Great that you are getting out camping. Its an awesome way to connect with nature. Appreciate the like and sub! More video reviews and adventures to come. Cheers!
Question for all you 'Hot-tenters' out there: If a new battery is invented, with five, ten times the energy density of our current best, such that it would be extremely easy to carry a compact electric heater and battery that could provide all the heat you needed for a weekend in the tent: would you use it? Would you consider it 'Hot-tenting'? Is it more about getting and burning the wood, than figureing out the best way to keep warm in a tent in winter? Nb. None of this is meant to be disrespectful of your pursuit/hobby/way of life. I've never tried it, but I will.
There a few ways you could heat your tent for sure, Propane, Electric, Diesel heater etc. However from a family that burns wood at our home and at our Off grid Cabin It's hard to match to the warmth and the "Feel" of burning wood. There is just something about the warm orange flicker from the stove, the crackling and popping of the fire, and the nice dry heat it radiates. We love to cook on the wood stove as well, it provides your hot water and fuel to cook your meals all while sitting in the warmth it radiates. If you haven't had this experience, I recommend you try it. I am not sure where you are from but here in Ontario the firewood is also abundant. Thanks for watching.
Your pipe should have a 24" pipe dish at the top by the spark arrestor screen to catch any embers and sparks that make it past the arrestor screen. Your pipe needs to maintain a higher temperature to burn up creosote as it begins to build, or, you need to achieve a high heat every now and then to burn up the creosote. The dish at the top should have a tube coming out to run rain water out and away from your tent. You'll also not have any creosote running down your pipe.
Hey thanks, I have not seen what you are talking about but I think I can visualize it. I am going to try a 45 elbow and a length or 2 of extra piping to see if that gets it away enough. If not I'll look into what you are suggesting. Thanks for the advice! Cheers
@Stark Raving Mad Adventures I grew up in the northern USA. My dad was an engineer. He invented something called a "convector" that he produced in our garage. We had them on both of our Ashley Woodburner pipes, basement and first floor.. They drew a percentage of the heat out of the pipe and put it out into the room. He applied for a patent. It was one of the many inventions he did alone or with my eggjead oldest brother. The dish was actually my invention. Backyard fabricators tried duplicating it, but nobody ever made a true copy that works like mine. If you decide you want plans on proper fabrication, let me know.
I believe that if you use a high temp anti-seize compound in the hubs of the pipes you'll have no issues pulling them apart. Got the same tent when it went on sale ! LoL ! Only thing I don't like is the stove jack hole . I got no clue what they were thinking! Smh ! Been looking for one that fits . Thinking of just building one with welding blanket .
Thanks for the suggestion. I just spent another night out with this setup. Tried a couple of things. Some worked, some didn't. Editing video now. Crazy deal on the tent though! I really like it. I actually bought 2 so I will try out the new one (without burn holes) in the spring and see how it holds up to rain etc. Thanks for suggestion I may try to find some. Appreciate you watching. Cheers!
A canvas section around the apex would solve spark damage, also burn silver birch wood, it burns clean, especially if it's dry, no creosote or red tar, as creosote is dangerous and is a potential chimney fire, don't burn sap wood. Take care, I like the tipi tent.
Hey Calum, i bought a section of pipe with a damper as well as a 45 degree elbow to take the pipe futher from the tent. Will be testing soon. Pipes are clean with little to no creosote. We have a wood stove at our home and off grid cabin so we are familiar with dangers of cresote from wood and poor burning. Appreciate the comments! Will have more videos of this setup in the near future. Cheers.
@@starkravingmadadventures6038 Thank you for your time to reply. Unlike some negative comments. I am now a old timer to and am getting riddectculled with negative comments from pip squeaks. Who don't know their arse from their elbows.
Excellent find!! I bought one very similar to this on Amazon for $80. I added a snow skirt around the bottom of it. My daughter and I camped out in it a few weeks ago and was pretty good for a little backpacking hot tent.
Agreed! Worked very well for this trip. My Son and I are planning a backpack in trip in a couple of weeks with it. I just received a pipe with damper and a 45 elbow from amazon to hopefully remedy the spark issue. Thanks for the view. Keep watching the channel. Will have another video on our trip. Cheers!
"... a little bit of leakage." A LITTLE BIT of leakage? The water would have been flowing in there like a river. Enjoyed the video, but the tent looks like it is absolutely awful. If it didn't have the little chimney flap, it would be a regular 'cheap' tent and I don't think you'd give it a second glance. If a stove is going to be north of $150 and add in car fuel to get there, the price of logs to burn (I know, I know, but most people do. At least some times.), your food (Don't even start!) etc., etc., it's hard to imagine the scenario, where skimping to that degree on the thing you are going to live in, (possibly the entire 'point' of your trip- to go 'Hot-tenting'- ) would make sense. In addition to the gult between the chimney protector and tent fabric, it would have also funneled all the rain that fell on the panel higher up into the gap. This is the first of your videos I've watched and I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you. All my criticsm is aimed at that tent, not you. I would really have appreciated some stats/metrics on the tent, the 'Head' value for instance. That fabric did not look waterproof about a ligh shower. Good luck! Keep going.
Hello Michael, Haha, yes, if it rained with the stove pipe in place, it would def leak there, "Just a little" however It does have a flap that covers the hole when you are not using a stove. So it would shed water okay, when it's closed up. Tent Material is made of 190T Polyester Nylon Tafetta with PU3000mm waterproofing and with the inner mesh enclosure (not shown) it is only 5lbs total. The material feels very similar to my 2 Big Agnes," high dollar" back packing tents we own. Honestly we bought it to have a portable winter tent that I can have the small stove in. So we would likely encounter more snow than rain. Yes it is a cheap tent, but I feel with its taped seams, alum stakes and center pole, and 2 doors, its really a solid enough option to provide shelter from the elements. I just spent my 2nd night in it Friday night and again impressed me for the cost. It traps the heat from the stove and provided decent shelter. (watch for a vid shortly) I actually bought 2 of these tents when they were on sale. When spring comes along here in Ontario I can test the new one in the rain and see how it fairs. Appreciate the comments on the channel and the sub! Cheers!
Not a permanent fix for the pipes sticking together, but when they do, use your backpacking stove (ie: pocket rocket style) and rotate the pipes over the flame where they meet and are stuck together. It helps get them apart. Cheers.
I purchased heavy duty fine stainless steel screen from off of Amazon, double rolled it, then pushed it up into the stove pipe tip. This acts like a spark arrestor.
Thanks, I'll try this. I just got back from another night with this setup. (Watch for video soon) I added a length of pipe with a damper and a 45 degree elbow. The damper helped and raised the pipe taller but the elbow caused the chiminey to not draw enough and I was getting smoke out the door etc. I will find some mesh to add in. One thing to note. I have read you have to be careful as fine screen etc can clog up with cresote, so keep an eye on it. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers!
It actually wasn't too bad with 2 people. I mean its designed as a lightweight backpacking style tent. Not something you can stand up and walk around in. So yes space is limited, but this also makes its easy to heat, portable and light weight. Really depends on what boxes you want to check. The stove jack is def not perfect, but it worked well for the weather I had. I also used the tent on a solo spring trip with the inner mesh and it worked decently as well. Check out the recent vid and let me know what you think. Cheers!
Thanks Pierre. Oh Man frustrating..! Keep an eye on Amazon hopefully it will become avail again soon. If I see it avail again I will msg you here. Good luck in your search.. Lots of options out there, but not many this budget friendly.. cheers
Just a little helpful hint for you use a blow torch and burn the inside of your stove pipe will brun the rest of the cemels in the pipe will lose it up for easy remove them as for your pipe drill 3 holes on top add eye hooks to keep the pipes from moving in the high winds take care have fun love mine I have 4 of them 3 for bagout when needed .
Hi Calum. Yes it also comes with a single person, mesh tent with full floor and zipper for bug season. We just didnt use it for winter and I think it ended up making it a solo shelter. Hope to be heading out with my son for a winter overnight in it soon. Thanks for checking out the video. Cheers!
My stove came with the same chimney set up. After about ten good burns it’s seriously fused together on the bottom three sections… I haven’t tried two pipe wrenches yet, but all my other tricks to separate them have failed. I’m running it in an RV, so I wasn’t taking it apart after each fire, and I got it good and hot.
If you get them apart, you could try a dremel to clean up the inside of the pipe. It did seem to help but not cure the problem completely. Time will tell.. thats awesome that you are using it in your RV. We have small bus we converted and plan to use the stove in it as well. Curious did you vent through the roof or out a window? Thanks!
@@starkravingmadadventures6038 won't need a 45. Just a damper. However you might have to small of pipe. If it dose still park. Set your stove for a larger pipe. To small a pipe can cause smoke to come out the door just like closing a damper. I have never used a spark arrestor. They sparked more when you feed them. Olso if I was you I'd get some more pipe and extend your chimney. Three feet past any peek of any roof. A damper stops the sparks when more closed. Remember have your damper away from the stove as to collect heat from the pipe.
That's awesome! It's a great budget setup! Curious if you have gotten burn holes from sparks as well, and if you have made any changes to combat the problem? Also stay tuned to the channel. I am almost finished a 1 year review of the stove and tent! Cheers, I appreciate the watch and comments!
The tent catching fire isn't the only problem, all of those leaves will start a forest fire. Stuff some chicken wire below the cap pipe. I carry extra weight (8lbs) , but I have a bathtub floor incase it rains, & more head room..
Thanks, i just purchased a damper pipe and 45 elbow to bring the pipe higher. I was considering adding in some mesh wire to the cap as well. Thanks for the suggestion. I dont like a bathtub floor in the snow ( which what we bought this tent for) you will inevitability bring snow into your tent then it melts and water stays in the btm. Just my preference. Appreciate the advice! Cheers.
Thanks for the video, I'm thinking of getting into hot tent camping and this was helpful. Nice that you shared the gotchya's, like the holes in the tent. I'll keep that in mind.
Hey, Glad it helped you out!. There are a slew of hot tents and stoves out there to choose from for sure. We were pretty happy with this setup for the minimal investment we had to outlay. Planning more nights out before this winter is over. Keep watching for more on this tent and stove. Cheers!
Thanks for the review. For the stove pipe Amazon has the elbows for tent stoves. I would suggest putting an elbow on the end and have the sparks fly away from the stove
Thanks, for the advice! I have been looking at 45' elbows and pipe extensions to try and direct the sparks away from the tent. Appreciate the advice and hope the review was helpful for you. Cheers!
Hello, The links just have to be copied and pasted and they will take you to the products. Still learning over here, will look into how to make them clickable links. Thank you!
Hey Camper69 I was thinking along those lines as well. I may pick up a 45 elbow and pickup another length of pipe with a damper and see if this will be enough to bring it away from the tent enough. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Jean, it does come with a removable inner mesh and floor for 1 side that zips up to the elements. This essentially makes it a solo tent though.

To separate chimney try putting snow inside the inner pipe and use a heat gun on the outer pipe. ( Expansion and retraction).
Hi Peter, thanks for the suggestion! I will give this a try. Thanks for checking out the channel! Cheers
How heavy was that tent? Is it light enough for back country? And did you say "new found holes" in the tents?

Never burn sap wood, it burns coal tar, Silver birch is a must when using a camp wood burning stove. You will have no problems with tar.
@@calummcneil6006 You've probably never burned a match, looking at your statement.

I would pay double for a floor or carry an extra tarp. I believe that shelter from the elements extends to the ground.
Hi Jean, it does come with a removable inner mesh and floor for 1 side that zips up to the elements. This essentially makes it a solo tent though. You generally dont want a sealed floor with a wood stove as the snow and ice melt and cause pooling of water inside your shelter.
