Using a wood stove in a hot tent is an option for many outdoor enthusiasts.
The tent can be used as a shelter and present from the wind and rain, and the wood stove can heat the tent to keep us warm. A wood stove has many usages, it can not only be used as heating equipment for the tents but it can also be used to cook a variety of foods, such as cooking, boiling water, making coffee, making delicious dishes, etc. The appearance of wood stoves has brought convenience to camping enthusiasts, but the safe use of the wood stove in the tent is a problem worthy of everyone's attention. Here are some tips for using a wood stove in a tent:
First of all, in order to use a wood stove in a tent, the tent needs to have a chimney opening, which is the most basic. It is also necessary to consider whether the material near the exit of the tent chimney is resistant to high temperature, and choose a stove jack of high-temperature resistant material. Although some tents have stove jacks, materials other than stove jacks are not resistant to high temperatures, such as stove jack covers. After the stovepipe is set up, be sure to check the distance between the stovepipe and the stove jack. The diameter of the stovepipe cannot be larger than the diameter of the stove jack. Just in case, I recommend putting an anti-scald pipe over the chimney mouth to prevent scalding the tent. Of course, be careful not to touch the anti-scalding pipe.
Secondly, remember not to place the stove on a slope or on uneven ground, the stove should be placed in a flat and stable position. Do not place flammable items near the woodstove, such as alcohol, to avoid direct contact with the wood stove to cause a fire.
Thirdly, put a stove mat under the woodstove, and you can choose a larger stove mat as possible. If sparks splash out of the stove, to effectively prevent burning.
Before you go to bed or leave the tent, make sure the fire in the stove is out. Or place a carbon monoxide detector in the tent and take ventilation measures to ensure that the tent is well ventilated to facilitate air circulation.
Finally, after installing the stovepipe, please use the wind ropes to fix the stovepipe, which can enhance the stability of the stovepipe and prevent the stovepipe from shaking. Reducing sparks can effectively prevent the tent from being scalded out of the hole. The height of the stovepipe should be 20-30 cm higher than the tent. In order to reduce the sparks, you can install the anti-mars net, but this cannot completely avoid the sparks. Therefore, the best way to prevent mars is to try not to create Mars.
1. Don't use wood chips when starting a fire, you can use wax wood strips.
2. When adding firewood to the stove, don't poke the burning firewood, use small pieces of firewood as much as possible, don't fill up the firewood each time, and leave some space in the stove so that it can burn more fully.
3. Don't blow on the stove or stir unextinguished wood with a stick, as this will cause sparks to fly.
Hope these tips are helpful to you.
