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.
I'm going for it finally this winter too! I already have an awesome medium sized stove from Biggerfire and my Naturehike Dune 10.9 tent will be here in 2 days. It's a huge hot tent, so I believe my stove is going to be a perfect size for it. I'm so excited!! The tent gets here Sunday and I'm seriously planning to try it out in the backyard and sleep in it on Monday night, lol! 😂
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
I have a fireproof floor mat from Winnerwell that I put below the stove. I believe it's made of fiberglass with a reflective backing. You can also use a welding mat that you can often find in hardware stores. There are products advertised for this on Amazon too, but if you look for welding mats you'll likely find something that will work. Some use silicone.
I don't know that brand is the main thing to look for, it's more about the size and build. Winnerwell could definitely be a good option. If it's a sizeable tent (More than 12 feet in diameter or so), then I'd be looking for a stove that's at least as big as the Winnerwell large size, is at least 18" deep inside, and has at least a 3.5" diameter flue pipe. I prefer stainless steel, but a powder coated option like a Camp Chef could be a little cheaper and do the job. I understand Pomoly and Seek Outside make some good stoves too.
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.
Indeed, that is a fixed pipe on the one in the video. And that would have been a good thing to mention in the video. I believe the roll up pipes are primarily for lightweight stoves designed for backpacking and such. They conserve space and weight, but they aren't as convenient and best wear gloves so as not to cut yourself. If you're car camping, I recommend a fixed/sectioned flue pipe. Cheers.
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?
I don't have a lot of experience with that specifically but I think you nailed it on the head. Width of stove and depth front to pipe. You could probably go a little larger, but too much and it won't cook as evenly.
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 !
Not really, but I also over prepare for a lot of things like that so I usually keep a window cracked for some ventilation and I started taking a little carbon monoxide detector that I turn on at night in the hot tent.
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?
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
A fair point, although I've managed to figure out a system that gets me 4-6 hours of low and slow burn time in that large stove using a combo of hardwood and compressed sawdust bricks that get me through most of the night.
I just like them to warm up the tent for bed and then warm up in the morning to get ready. My sleeping gear does the heavy lifting on actual warmth when asleep, the stove is for comfort. I love them
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.

Wow, this is so kind of you to take the time to write that note, thank you! Keep enjoying the outdoors and all the best to you and your family.
Good video! Been wanting to get into this hobby for a few years. I think this winter will be the one.
Good luck!

@@JesseCase Awesome! I hope you have a good time. I'm gonna have to check out that Naturehike Dune tent.
I appreciate the detailed video, especially concerning the types of woods.
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks, that was a very good and informative. Stay warm😊
A lot of information, fast…thanks, from…an old man in the hills of east Tennessee.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the information…Have fun stay safe.
You bet. You too.
Big & small , I get it !
Good wood info. Bear brick looks good
Which stove would you recommend for the yurt style tents, the Winnerwell or another brand?
I don't know that brand is the main thing to look for, it's more about the size and build. Winnerwell could definitely be a good option. If it's a sizeable tent (More than 12 feet in diameter or so), then I'd be looking for a stove that's at least as big as the Winnerwell large size, is at least 18" deep inside, and has at least a 3.5" diameter flue pipe.

Could you put one of these in an enclosed space such as a shed?
Replacement glass where to order from
I noticed both of your stoves also have burner lids. Do you prefer your stoves have that over just a solid top?
Would a gasket around the door be beneficial?
I don't think so. I've thought about it, but don't really see an advantage in this situation.
@theoutdoorempire Thanks for your reply.
Thank you
Whats the tent youre using at 2:20 ?

he did
check from 6 mins
Do you worry about carbon monoxide while sleeping though the night with stove burning?
Not really, but I also over prepare for a lot of things like that so I usually keep a window cracked for some ventilation and I started taking a little carbon monoxide detector that I turn on at night in the hot tent.
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
Dryer wood will help. Good luck & have fun 🌞
No pine wood more hardwood. Hardwood burns to white ash. Pine and cedar smoke nasty. Start with hot kindling
@WillieMakeit thank you for the response! I appreciate it!

Can you burn coal in these stoves?
Never done it, but probably.

If you can get four hours of burning will stay warm for another two hours just from the heat radiating off the stove what are you going on about?

I have to look into the saw dust bricks
