*Great lightweight shelter. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s love how it blocks the light from outside. It was a pain to open the first time but now that it is broke in goes up easy..*
Another nice video joe. The reason I bought the Eskimo(I went with the 9416i, plenty of room for cots) is because of the removable windows that can accommodate a stove pipe. I set mine up very similar to yours joe, except I used sheet metal instead of welding fabric. I also drilled out the stove pipe on two sides near the top and installed eye bolts and ran heavy string down to the plastic eyes that are located on the sides of the tent. This stabilized the pipe nicely. Also, putting a hinged plywood floor down prevents slipping around on melted snow and ice. Cant wait for the next fishing video!
Greg here...That is an awesome idea! I've seen other ways of doing this but your way is much better & easier to do. Thanks for the video. Gonna do this.
I was wondering how you guys cope with the fumes from the heaters and lanterns and such. It gives my family headaches if we breathe that for too long. You are a smart man for using another method of heating. You know it can't be good for you.
Hey Joe have you ever thought about buying one of those small suitcase style generators? About 2,000 Watts should be enough to run a good forced air electric heater inside your shanty. Think about it no firewood no having to wait for the wood stove to cool down no disposal of the ash. Quick, odorless, quiet, efficient, and safe heat. You can still bring a very small propane grill to cook on.
Well done Joe, looks like it should work just fine. We did something very similar, and man oh man.. Life is good when your heat is from wood. It just seems to warm the ol bones up like nothing I've ever seen or felt replicated. Another plus from burning wood is the fact it'll warm you up twice, 1st when your out cutting, and then of course while your burning. Have a good day Joe, I sure do appreciate Zach's channel, great young man, and of course yours also. Thank you for sharing
After reading the comments everyone seems to have good ideas about fire safety. Your pipe support stand was a great idea but I have to add my two cents. Keep the change. You've addressed the weight problem of the pipe exiting the tent with your stand and chain configuration. But, you have a long stack swinging in the wind. I was thinking you could use two more chains attached to the top of the pipe and tied into your pipe stand in a V configuration. But, you're the Master and I hope to see the final design in action.
I am not much for going out fishing on real windy days and if it was to get windy I would remove the top piece of pipe. As long as the wind is blowing away from the house sparks would not be a problem. If like you said I do have trouble I can cable or chain it on each side down to the pull out loops on the shelters sides. Until I get out there and use the wood stove I will now know.
I saw the same thing a few years back, the person coated the inside and the outside with silicon to help seal and add more fire resistance. Very nice job.
I did this myself last year and it is awesome...i dont use it to fish just to winter camp it does not take a very big stove to heat a tent...way too big of stove is my thinking...omg! your going to sweat like you cant believe!!! use a 3 inch pipe at the very most. also try silicone baking sheets and cut to fit. or stove jack you dont need the metal ring attached too heavy...just a silicone opening with the pipe going through it. put a piece of welding blanket jsut below the stove jack to prevent the heat from the stove.
I did similar this fall while using my pop up for deer hunting. My hole placement was 'as far from as all edges as possible.' So, a little lower than yours and it worked well. Exterior tripod was needed, much like you did. The window cover now below the window can be folded up behind itself with the corner tucked into the bottom corner of the neighboring window. Just held up by the velcro. This is to prevent it from melting from the heat from the back of the stove. You will be too hot. Better than not being hot enough.
Oh yea, that was a great alteration and upgrade. Nasty to think of the carbon you inhaled with the propane stove...smart move to switch it out. You can also cook on that stove top if needed. Cheers!
position the tent so the wind blows any embers away from the tent. that work mat you have by your workbench, put some of that down over the ice to save your feet. not under the stove of course... awesome project, look forward to the test to see how it works.
Good video Joe!! I can understand about using the gas type heaters. That wood stove will make it nice, and if you want to fry up some fish that you catch you can.
Wow!!! Nxt winter I’m gonna have all the supplies to do this with my big Eskimo pop up!! I use the sunflower and long as I go outside few times I’m ok!, but nxt season a wood stove!
Great idea Joe.....The party shack lives...lol....Get a pork steak going with some Johnny’s seasoning, your fellow fishermen will be heading over......Now ya need another heat fan to sit on the top of the stove....Can’t wait to try her out! Thanks Joe.
We made a wood stove out of a 40 lb. propane tank for our ice shanty and it’s the biggest otter shanty can get . It works great you can sit there fishing in shorts if you wanted to . We have stayed from Friday night to Sunday afternoon, might have to run in get some more bait . We have 3-4 cots , table , stove , lights , small generator.
Great idea! I was planning doing it for my hub... definitely gave me a great how to . Thanks! I’ve just recently started viewing your vids! Enjoy very much!👍Barry
I wonder if one of those tent stove jacks like what’s on outfitter tents would work. Your Cabelas outfitter tent that you take duck hunting has one of those with the rubber gasket in it. I know you can buy those from Cabelas. But anyhow. Looks like what you’ve constructed will do the job just fine though. Love watching what you come up with. Can’t wait for the next ice fishing trip. Thanks for sharing :) Take care, see ya.
Just a suggestion for your vent piping. The crimped end of the pipe ALWAYS must go in the direction of the flue gases NOT against them. Connect the stove with uncrimped end and work your way out to rain cap.
Ideally that would be nice but this will only be run maybe 5 or 6 hours at a time. I am not in the least bit worried. I will not be installing a rain cap either.
Pop rivets with some 1" fender washers spaced every 4". Careful frying anything in the tent. The grease will eventually coat the top of it... Don't ask how I know. Better to stick with heating a can of beef stew, a pot of tea etc.
Great job. Just so you know if you do these small fixes and you could use a sewing machine, Singer makes a hand held one for $20 and it runs on battery. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing.
i am sure that will work out just fine i see a lot of people using those fish houses with wood stoves they do just fine there is a guy on youtube steve wells he does a lot of videos camping in a fish tent with a wood stove he used for a whole winter camping every weekend it wouldn't hurt to bring a carbon monoxide tester either
Wood stoves also emit carbon monoxide so be careful. Do I ever love that ice fishing tent! What a brilliant thing it is. They're coming up with some amazing equipment these days.
The wood heat is going to feel so much better than the propane heat out ice fishing. Now you just will have to worry about melting the ice in the shack. Next will be a removable floor system to keep your feetwarm.
I would recommend using a carbon monoxide detector when using any camp space heater. The unvented 'buddy heater' type of heater vent the combustion gasses directly into the (probably) confined space you are trying to heat. It is best to know what is going on. Carbon monoxide is odorless.
I agree. They are rated for use indoors and are the most used portable propane heater ever made. While most people get no ill effects, I could tell I had been in a room with a non vented heater.
There are vented RV furnace type heaters, but they aren't cheap. Also, these heaters require 12V DC. These heaters are intended for heating an RV or vehicle, and have a heat exchanger and a flu like a home furnace. Some models are lightweight and small. I don't know if they could be adapted for a tent. It would be kind of overkill anyway. However, if I was heating a small trailer or a small cabin with propane, I would want something like that.
I do know how to sew, I just am not going to do it. Lol. I am old enough now so I can pick and choose what survival skills I want to have someone else do for me. Haha.
Because I did not have any rivets and I wasn't going to drive 15 miles one way to buy some and waste an hour of my time when there was absolutely no reason to when the wire will be just as effective.
This is not a stove that will be burning for days and also if you do it the way you are saying (which is the correct way) I will be dealing with creosote running down the pipe and burning since this stove will have to be burning at a very low heat since the area it is heating is so small. You are correct in what you are saying but in this application it does not work well at all. I have done this many times in the past. You learn as you go. I am less worried about any smoke that may escape (and it really wont) and more worried about the creosote.
Great idea Joe! Nothing better than wood heat... just a quick question and my oppologies if I missed it but where did you find/buy that little stove? I’m thinking of putting one in my hunting blind and that stove looks nice a small but still able to warm the space. Thanks
I have s 2 man popup iceman that I use as a cigar tent. Been looking for vids to add a good heat source. I was leaning toward a buddy heater but this is more what I really want. Cigars and steaks!
Hi Joe I was watching a van life video and he put in a Chinese diesel heater and vented outside it worked 100% better than the little buddy. Just an idea
When I was a kid my Dad had a fish house and used the old fuel oil or oil or kerosene drip type heater. I would love to find one of them. The system I made in this video would work fine for that. Back then the fish house always smelled the same, I can remember it clearly. It smelled like kerosene.
You should make sure you have a spark arrestor on there too I watched video where guy put a stove in his tent and a spark touch the tent and melted it instantly
Minnesota engineering right there! I dub thee 'The Mini-Tent' Do you have any of the fire board from under the tent's stove laying around? Might be an extra safety measure for under the pop up stove.. in case it's not at heat resistant.
Michael J. Schaefer it sits right on the ice. no floor. no reason to put anything under it. watch his previous video. the gas heater Is starting to sink in the ice a little. but behind it where it gets closer to the wall would be a good ideal
How did it work? I was thinking you could for safety add a free standing back wall heat shield and the fact the pipe is long keeps embers from tent perhaps some type of spark arrest, I will use some of your idea's. Thank you
Hey Joe, couple questions after I re watched. 1. Is the stove going to get to hot and potentially melt the side of the ice tent. 2. Are you going to set stove on something? I thinking a five hour burn, that stove is going to melt the ice? I asking because I don't know, and I'm trying to learn. Great video
It will melt some ice just like the propane heater does, i mean not enough to be worried at all but the floor (ice) will be wet. I may put it on something to reflect that heat away from the ice under the stove. I have not gotten that far yet.
Does it get too hot with that stove. Buying thermal shanty and have an old grill propane tank I could make a stove with. Just didn't know if the thing would run us out of the shanty
Hello, I'm new to your You-tube site, having just discovered you yesterday. Wow what an amazing story you have shared with everyone for so long. I have watched this episode, as well as about a dozen or so others, many many more to go. I would like to ask you a question about The Tent. I live in Australia so have no knowledge of what it is to live with snow, (we do have it but I have never seen it). Watching a video earlier and seeing you walk the path from the Tent to your outhouse, I wondered why there isn't a covered in pathway. Maybe something with shade cloth on the sides to help reduce the amount of snow you would have to shovel every day. Sorry if this is a ridiculous question. Thank you
That would be a lot of work to construct that and it would also cut off the back yard from the front yard. It is a good idea just not practical in this situation. Thank you.
They are not water proof. If it rains (if you use it for any type of non winter camping) you need to waterproof the seams or bring a tarp. Otherwise it works real well. You do not need that big of a stove, it gets hot fast
Yes I could have if I would have had any rivets but I didn't. No reason to waste an hour driving to and from the store to buy some when the wire will last just as many years as a rivet would have.
I along with several of my friends have in the past or do live in Minnesota do you know how much crap has gotten done or figured out or destroyed because it’s winter and it’s something to do LOL I’m glad you got it constructive
Just subscribed recently, love the channel! Question: My best friend has a cabin on Elbow Lake and I went up there last summer from Florida.. I showed him your channel and he was curious how far north you are.

Joe, I would velcro a piece of that fire cloth behind your wood stove too, better safe than sorry.
Great idea, and far healthier.
Gosh...there's nothing you can't do. I've watched your show for a few years . Good job !
Great idea Joe!.....should be a great addition to your ice fishing
Greg here...That is an awesome idea! I've seen other ways of doing this but your way is much better & easier to do. Thanks for the video. Gonna do this.
Excellent Joe! Adaptation! Enjoy the warmth! Blessings!
I remember in all the duck camp videos you set up the little wood stove and it worked really well in the larger tent.
I was wondering how you guys cope with the fumes from the heaters and lanterns and such. It gives my family headaches if we breathe that for too long. You are a smart man for using another method of heating. You know it can't be good for you.
Crack 2 windows so u have ventilation and problem solved

Hay Joe thanks for vid,no snow to move around,so we engineered a stove for the tent.wow you are a never-ending project getum done man..Thanks
I have another "moving snow with the farmall M" video uploading right now on the Northern Seclusion channel. Lol.
If you guys done a series that was broadcasted on TV I think it would be an amazing success! Keep up the great work

You guys should do a all nighter fishing vid, that would be cool!
My girlfriend and I just got the same stove; Kni-Co Alaskan, and are looking to get an ice fishing tent to do the same thing. Thanks for this video.
Joe...put some fireboard under the legs of the stove to elevate it up....plus that would help with the ice melting around the stove. Just an idea😃
I did this myself last year and it is awesome...i dont use it to fish just to winter camp it does not take a very big stove to heat a tent...way too big of stove is my thinking...omg! your going to sweat like you cant believe!!! use a 3 inch pipe at the very most. also try silicone baking sheets and cut to fit. or stove jack you dont need the metal ring attached too heavy...just a silicone opening with the pipe going through it. put a piece of welding blanket jsut below the stove jack to prevent the heat from the stove.
Awesome idea there Joe!
I can remember using a homemade wood stove when I was a kid in our fish house! Great video!
Nothing beats that heat off of a wood stove!!
Don't know how I missed this one..thanks for the idea Joe...imgonna do the same to mine

Joe, you are amazing the things you think of
That was an awesome idea Joe can't wait to see you use it
Wow!!! Nxt winter I’m gonna have all the supplies to do this with my big Eskimo pop up!! I use the sunflower and long as I go outside few times I’m ok!, but nxt season a wood stove!
great idea joe, i installed one in my hunting tent. its awesome

He seems to be doing better slowly.
@@JoeandZachSurvival I'm sure it will take some time
Dude, you are the MacGyver of the North Woods! No problem to0 big, no solution too small!

Cool video joe now it’s going to be warm ice fishing just like it if u where in an ice house time to test it out
Looking forward to seeing you test it out.
That will work Joe good stuff!
Very cool mate, liked that.
Great idea! I was planning doing it for my hub... definitely gave me a great how to . Thanks! I’ve just recently started viewing your vids! Enjoy very much!👍Barry
Looks great, Joe!
Don't forget the traditional 13 bottles of lighter fluid!! :-)
If I had one of them I'd be camping in the winter, I'd love that.
you did a good job it will have a good draft
I wonder if one of those tent stove jacks like what’s on outfitter tents would work. Your Cabelas outfitter tent that you take duck hunting has one of those with the rubber gasket in it.

@@JoeandZachSurvival K.
I've got the same stove for when I go deer hunting in a tent. I use those 4 hour logs so I don't have to get up every hour to stoke the fire back up.
Pop rivets with some 1" fender washers spaced every 4". Careful frying anything in the tent. The grease will eventually coat the top of it... Don't ask how I know. Better to stick with heating a can of beef stew, a pot of tea etc.
Great job. Just so you know if you do these small fixes and you could use a sewing machine, Singer makes a hand held one for $20 and it runs on battery. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing.
I liked this video. I have a similar shanty and if you come up with any other modifications or accessories I think it would be a great video. Thanks!
Joe put a sheet metal plate on the outside and pop rivet it together.
If I did that it would not be removable, if it can not be removed the pop up fish house can no longer be popped down and fit into the bag.
No you have the same way as you do now but just put a plate on the other side. Make a sandwich and pop it in and out. Everything stays as you have it.
Thats a great idea. Time for some more ice fishing and show us how it performs. I bet its going to work great.
i am sure that will work out just fine i see a lot of people using those fish houses with wood stoves they do just fine there is a guy on youtube steve wells he does a lot of videos camping in a fish tent with a wood stove he used for a whole winter camping every weekend it wouldn't hurt to bring a carbon monoxide tester either

I really do love fish houses with floors in them. Back years ago they always had floors but now with these portable ones they do not.
Looks good..nice job!
Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Try using a 45 instead of 2 90. Place 45 in stove ,then adjust straight pipe to match window. Just a suggestion.

You can sleep in the fish camp now 😄.......T.Gunz.........
great house . I am Vietnam
I just bought a crimp it works really good.
A good survival skill is knowing how to sew.
I do know how to sew, I just am not going to do it. Lol. I am old enough now so I can pick and choose what survival skills I want to have someone else do for me. Haha.
Joe why donr you rivet it on the welding blanket. Just cut one inch strips of sheet metal on the back and rivet together. Just a thought.
Because I did not have any rivets and I wasn't going to drive 15 miles one way to buy some and waste an hour of my time when there was absolutely no reason to when the wire will be just as effective.
I got a good idea too 20lb propane tank and a buddy heater hell of a build it was but got it done
Just a heads up but galvanized stove pipes will off gas. You'll wan the painted black stove pipes.
You should have the crimps going in the direction of the flow on pipe like that:)
This is not a stove that will be burning for days and also if you do it the way you are saying (which is the correct way) I will be dealing with creosote running down the pipe and burning since this stove will have to be burning at a very low heat since the area it is heating is so small.

I am less worried about any smoke that may escape (and it really wont) and more worried about the creosote.
Should get warm in there now 😎
cut up a old bed liner and reuse the floor to help insulate the heat from ice to cut down on melting
Great idea Joe! Nothing better than wood heat... just a quick question and my oppologies if I missed it but where did you find/buy that little stove? I’m thinking of putting one in my hunting blind and that stove looks nice a small but still able to warm the space. Thanks
Cool Project! What kind of shelter is that?
Looks good. Great video thx!!
Large Cotter Pins vs Wire 👍🏼
Then Switch over to Pop-Rivets w/outside Washers
I have s 2 man popup iceman that I use as a cigar tent. Been looking for vids to add a good heat source. I was leaning toward a buddy heater but this is more what I really want. Cigars and steaks!

When you cut the fire proof blanket for the window the edges where you cut will unravel if you don’t sew it

I dub thee 'The Mini-Tent'
Do you have any of the fire board from under the tent's stove laying around? Might be an extra safety measure for under the pop up stove.. in case it's not at heat resistant.

great vid, what size Eskimo Tent do you have???
I do not know the model name but it is the one that is almost 120 inches x 120 inches. It is also an insulated model.
You’re definitely right, gas heat can leave ya kinda sick, woodstoves are the best all around
Did you ever do a update video on this setup? I couldn't find nothing and would love to see it on action
How did it work? I was thinking you could for safety add a free standing back wall heat shield and the fact the pipe is long keeps embers from tent perhaps some type of spark arrest, I will use some of your idea's. Thank you

Are you using a galvanized exhaust pipe for house hold ductwork?
Does it get too hot with that stove. Buying thermal shanty and have an old grill propane tank I could make a stove with. Just didn't know if the thing would run us out of the shanty
i like what you have done. Could you tell me which Eskimo fish house you were modifying?
Hey Joe, have you and Zach ever considered a ice fishing trip at the tent?
I have fished there in the winter in the past. Very thick ice and it is a lot of work getting all the equipment there.
I kind of figured as much, from your videos temps are much colder up there. Guess I was just trying to talk you into more winter trips to the tent LOL
Hello, I'm new to your You-tube site, having just discovered you yesterday. Wow what an amazing story you have shared with everyone for so long.

They are not water proof. If it rains (if you use it for any type of non winter camping) you need to waterproof the seams or bring a tarp. Otherwise it works real well. You do not need that big of a stove, it gets hot fast
you can try rivets with a backing of some sheet metal sandwiching the material instead of the wire
Yes I could have if I would have had any rivets but I didn't. No reason to waste an hour driving to and from the store to buy some when the wire will last just as many years as a rivet would have.
Nice new addition to you shack
