Hello, this is SoloWilder stove - the maker of the hot tent pellet stove in the video, here are the reasons and solutions for the problems in the video: 1. The reason why the pellets cannot be completely burned: the ash after the pellets are burned needs to slowly fall from the gap to the ash hopper. The blogger showed that the pellets are not burned at the bottom because the pellets at the bottom have finished burning. The burnt ash blocked the gap, causing the pellet ash to not fall down in time, affecting the falling of new particles above it. As long as the Automatic pellet feeding device is filled with combustible pellets, the combustible part of the entire pellet will It will be fully burned. If the shooting time is when it just starts burning, we can see that the particles in the entire hollow groove can be burned. When the particles are almost burned out, the flame will appear like the blogger The same combustion occurs with only the upper flame. 2. Blackening of the glass: There are certain reasons for the curved furnace tube. The smoke that should be discharged upward is squeezed at the first section of the furnace tube, and the smoke that should be discharged quantitatively is restricted. If it can be discharged in sufficient quantity, This problem can be avoided by discharging it. This is one reason. Then the burned ash material does not fall into the ash hopper in time, allowing more new particles to fall and burn, resulting in the firepower in the furnace becoming smaller. After the firepower becomes smaller, the ones underneath are burned out. There will be no flames in the particles, and more of the residual heat will cause black smoke to emit. But don’t worry, as long as you control the firepower in the furnace, you can avoid this problem. 3. Number of furnace tubes: We are already discussing this issue, because 4 furnace tubes can be completely installed into the furnace body and are more convenient to carry. If everyone likes more furnace tubes, we can solve this problem later. At present, if you want more furnace tubes, you can go to our store to purchase according to your needs. If you have any suggestions or questions about our products, you are welcome to communicate with us and update your suggestions and support.
I’m not following the ash problem and the fire only being at the top of the burn chamber, please explain that more. How can the ashes not falling be solved? As for the elbows. The stove itself has one 180 degree turn and then a 90 degree turn. Adding elbows shouldn’t affect the burn as long as there is enough pipe afterwards to produce a good draw. After the elbows I have 5 more feet of pipe that I have added myself. So in total it has 7 feet of chimney. I will try adding more pipe and also using only straight chimney to see if that solves the blackening of the glass. Thanks for watching the video and I’m always interested in more stoves.
I wanted to express my appreciation for the information provided here. As someone who recently made a purchase of a different pellet stove on Amazon, the number of pipes included was a significant factor in my decision-making process. It ultimately influenced me to choose the other stove, as it offered a lower price and included all necessary components in a single purchase. After watching this video, I must say there are many excellent points highlighted that resonate with me as a frequent hot-tent camper. The insights have been valuable in understanding the features and benefits of the product. Best regards!
@solowilder9855 - I bought this exact stove, I used it once and now I can't get the stove pipes to separate from the stove or from each other. I can stand on the stove and pull up with all my strength and not remove any of the stove pipes. Any suggestions on how to remove these?
Yes I saw that. That is why I was questioning the way they did it. Over the years of watching home made pellet feeders , they always go towards the chimney. Your videos have me interested in buying one again. Thanks again.
Watch my overnight with this one. It’s like camping in a blizzard or something like that. I had trouble with it over night. My favorite pellet stove is the giraffe stove with their pellet attachment. Has never given me a problem.
Glad I saw this! I still think the first one is a beast. I keep the hopper full to avoid smoke by wake up every 3 or so hours & just always dump the ash catch before going to bed. Thanks for the review brother!
I’m glad you saw it too. I’ve have heard from another company that the hoper shouldn’t be allowed to get empty so best practice maybe to fill it every few hours. I agree the first one is a beast! You’re welcome and thanks for watching
Neat looking stove. That is weird that only part of the pellets are burning. That Spackjack is pretty cool! Congrats to the winner. Hapoy St. Patrick's day brother
I’m not sure cutting a tree down is possible but I think I’m going to give it try lmao. Bro he is the greatest! It’s like he speaks English lol. Listens so well. Thanks for watching
what size tent will this stove keep warm? i have a 12x20 and a 12x12 Cabelas tent. You mentioned the Pellet Stove burned all night long, was it warm? at night i like to keep my tent around 67*F and camp in snow with Temps around 26*F
I mentioned this stove burning all night? It’s been a while since I’ve used it but I can’t remember if it actually did or not. If so, I would imagine it was such a low burn it didn’t keep it extremely warm by any means. I have another pellet stove that I’ve burned over night many times and that’s a good burn. As for a 12x20, I don’t think this would do the trick by itself. If you have two, one on each end, that would work better. Thanks for watching
Hi👋 For years i have wood stove at home The issues with hoper having smoke inside Did the other stove have myabe a regulator on chimney? If she did and its closet so that it will slow burning fire Smoke will look for other places to go like hoper Also depents on the wind , if it is windy some time it will burn like a crazy and sometimes you can’t even start it Difrend winds with difrent air pressure So the regulator on chimny is very important but you need to know how to work with it I can’t even put more wood in stove if is closed all smoke come in the house😂 My question for you is I know for the cooking that tent stove are bad but how bad is it? Speciali pelet stove Hol long do you need to boli water, can you cook food on there or is it beter to bring prophane burner?
Yes there is enough heat and space to cook. You are in having to have the damper open to load more wood in. The pellet stove also had a flue damper. I experienced smoke in the hopper with and without the damper. Thanks for watching
Any updates on fixing this stove issue? Sadly I purchased this stove without first watching Spackmann. Heading out on a winter ice fishing camping trip and was hoping that this stove would stay burning wide open and through the night.
Make sure you have a smoke detector and CO detector. Also bring some kind of poking tool to clean out the burn chamber from time to time. Thanks for watching
Doubt it after they see this lol. But you never know. That’s just like this one but with more pipes and a side table right? Oven door folds down too? Thanks for watching
I used one of these pellet stoves on a recent winter camp with a 20' bell tent. It was no where near enough to keep the tent warm as a traditional wood stove. (10-15 degrees warmer from outside temp) The burn times are great for the size of the hopper. My pipes had major issues with creating creosote. Same issue with the flame quickly going to a low burn as the bottom pellets do not fully burn and fill up the ash catcher. Unless you are using a screwdriver or ground stake to stoke the pellets. Is this simply an airflow to the basket and maybe having a larger stove pipe to get heat output? The amount of flame this stove puts out is more open flame than a kerosene heater, and those heaters will heat a 20' bell tent to 60-65 degrees with outside temps at 26-35 degrees. Is the solution simply having direct outside airflow?
No if it’s exactly like this one, it’s the stove. I have one now that burns great. I’ll be posting it soon. This one needs a redesign in my opinion. Thanks for watching
It may heat that tent depending on how cold it is outside. The stove definitely has some issues but if you get it make sure you figure out how to work it properly before using it a tent and I don’t recommend using it overnight without waking up every few hours. Thanks for watching
As a burn count acolyte I don’t believe the third one counts. I’m always excited to count burns but I don’t think that one deserves a count. I’ve seen your burns. I know what counts. :) I love you bro. Happy late Sunday. Cheers. Also- anything will open a beer- even a corpse. Not that I know….. Ps the spackjack- I love it

It is, I forgot to show the air intake but it directly infront of the burn chamber. Same as the previous cheapest pellet stove I reviewed. Thanks for watching
Hey Spackmann - I bought this stove, used it once and now I cant get the stove pipes off the stove or separate them from each other. Even standing on the stove and pulling up with all my might, I cant get them to budge! Did you have this issue?
I have not had that problem with this one. You can try heating with a blowtorch at the connections and pulling them apart. Not sure if they expanded or creosote stuck them together. Hopefully that helps. Thanks for watching
Hey man, as always, great stuff! We had a brief chat a while back about having a bigger stove so we get a longer burn and a better sleep. Have you tried the Nu-Way propane stove? I'm in Canada and had never seen these stoves before. I have the Russian Bear UP-5 and think this might be a great option. I thought I would take a chance and see if you had any experience with the Nu-Way stove.
How’s it going bro? I haven’t tried a NuWay propane stove but I have heard good things about them. Only heard. I think an UP tent would be the right style for one as they are double layered and might do a great job with the propane stoves. If you end up going that direction let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching
Oddly enough I built one using a burner and a metal garbage can. I tried it out last November in One Tigres Rock Fortress tent. I stayed warm but the bottom 14 inches or so frosted up quite bad, so needless to say, wet sleeping bag and other gear. Winter is almost over here in Alberta so I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to give it a try. I'm going to build a better looking stove using a real stove and not a garbage can! Thanks for getting back to me so fast, brother! I'm hoping to get my channel up and running in the next month or so, I'm hoping to get up to the Yukon with my jet boa and film so great adventures! I'll stay in touch! CHEERS BUDDY!
@wesschimpf5155 the frost line in a tent sucks.ive thought about making one before and may give it a go. Don’t wait for the next month or so. Get it up now. It takes time and your first videos are your learning process so get them going!
Thanks for the great advice, I appreciate it! I'm supposed to be retired but I'm helping out a friend and I'm locked in until the end of April, 5-6 days a week. My channel will be called "Nature's a Mother"! Also, I have a female dog who looks just like your dog, almost identical!
Pretty clean looking stove and seems well built. I feel like that swivel chair is going to be the most featured product in your videos going forward lol. 13 hours of burn time is pretty wild but I wonder how well it would keep warm in cold temps, I wonder if the burn issue is a feature or a bug lol. So strange. Makes no sense that the company doesn't supply enough stove pipe to realistically operate the stove, they need to fix that for sure.
Oh it’s a bug for sure. The stove was warm but cool enough for me to touch. Definitely didn’t keep the tent warm through the night that’s for sure. Bro, the more I use the swivel chair the more I like it lmao. I was turning all around in this video and it’s great! Thanks for watching
These less expensive stoves seem to have a practice of taking their best guess, produce it and let the customer figure out what does not work or work well.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann want to put a stove in my barn but haven’t decided what yet. Dweller or pellet 🤷♀️ not to heat whole thing just added warmth
@@AdventureswithSpackmann have few of those. One will be in the bottom of building want small one for above that can pack away when not needed. For now will use big stove as almost summer anyhow lol
The burn sounds like an oxygen problem. The air is not flowing from bottom to top. No chimney draw to suck new air into the stove? That neck knife seems like zombie apocolypse brass knuckles. Love your stove reviews. Thanks for the video.
Hmmmm you mean 3 pipes aren’t enough lol. I do have more pipes on it but I’ll add even more and see if that helps. Zombie axe knuckles, love it! Thanks for watching
Pellet stoves that don't have a fan should never be horizontally vented. They need no restrictions on the venting in order to create the needed airflow. The vent should also be at least 8ft.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann It's difficult to get a horizontal vent to draft when it's cold. When it's real cold, your whole vent pipe cools down, which slows down the draft without any horizontal venting. That venting might work at home, while testing it at 40 deg.. But when you get in the bush and it's below freezing, you might never get it to work. A pellet stove needs a serious draft. Much greater than a regular stove. The colder it is, the harder it is to draft.
@ oh this isn’t my first time exhausting horizontally. And it was 40degrees either. I agree the pipe can cool down fast when it’s cold but I wouldn’t use a stove if it isn’t cold out. In my experience you just need enough up draft after the bends. Additionally this company does sell an inline exhaust fan for pellet stoves.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann All I'm trying to point out is the importance of making sure there isn't anything that could go wrong. I live off grid in the Alaskan bush. I have three different heat sources. Each of them have failed in the past. Venting has been an issue on a straight pipe many times. When you depend on only one source, you can't take chances.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I only open it for startup/relight or when the pellets start to choke the flame after burning many hours. That ash catch has some good heat it will glow in the dark if it’s even left 1/3 open after a few hours, I’ve let the hopper run just empty and been able to dump pellets and the stove relit with me just opening the dampers, but yes I agree even with the dampers closed there is still quite a bit of air I usually run my stove with them completely closed so the stove doesn’t burn me out. It seems this model there should be just a little bit more air flow though, that burn doesn’t look as clean.
I have. All my tests were on the lowest setting until my most recent test during this video. And it didn’t change the burning. I’ll try my best but no guarantees lol. Thanks for watching
Think you might be able to cut a small branch, definitely a twig, but not a tree lol. Still not a fan of pellet stoves, nor steel stoves cause most of the time I'm hiking for miles before I camp. Hot spots on the main cook plate are bad too. Congratulations to the winner

Hi👋
For years i have wood stove at home
The issues with hoper having smoke inside
Did the other stove have myabe a regulator on chimney? If she did and its closet so that it will slow burning fire
Smoke will look for other places to go like hoper
Also depents on the wind , if it is windy some time it will burn like a crazy and sometimes you can’t even start it
Difrend winds with difrent air pressure
So the regulator on chimny is very important but you need to know how to work with it
I can’t even put more wood in stove if is closed all smoke come in the house😂
My question for you is

Thanks for the great advice, I appreciate it! I'm supposed to be retired but I'm helping out a friend and I'm locked in until the end of April, 5-6 days a week. My channel will be called "Nature's a Mother"!
Also, I have a female dog who looks just like your dog, almost identical!
Pretty clean looking stove and seems well built. I feel like that swivel chair is going to be the most featured product in your videos going forward lol. 13 hours of burn time is pretty wild but I wonder how well it would keep warm in cold temps, I wonder if the burn issue is a feature or a bug lol. So strange. Makes no sense that the company doesn't supply enough stove pipe to realistically operate the stove, they need to fix that for sure.
Oh it’s a bug for sure. The stove was warm but cool enough for me to touch. Definitely didn’t keep the tent warm through the night that’s for sure. Bro, the more I use the swivel chair the more I like it lmao. I was turning all around in this video and it’s great! Thanks for watching
Spack Jack for the win!
Heck yeah! So cool thanks for watching
You son*******h that wasnt my name! 😂 I thought i made it perfectly clear that IIIIII was the winner?! 😆
Oh crap did I make a mistake??? lol. Thanks for watching bro
These less expensive stoves seem to have a practice of taking their best guess, produce it and let the customer figure out what does not work or work well.
For sure! Thanks for watching
May have to try a pellet stove eventually
They are freaking nice for sure. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann want to put a stove in my barn but haven’t decided what yet. Dweller or pellet 🤷♀️ not to heat whole thing just added warmth
@@kokadjooutdoors620 go with an actual wood stove. Cast iron. Works way better than
@@AdventureswithSpackmann have few of those. One will be in the bottom of building want small one for above that can pack away when not needed. For now will use big stove as almost summer anyhow lol
The burn sounds like an oxygen problem. The air is not flowing from bottom to top. No chimney draw to suck new air into the stove? That neck knife seems like zombie apocolypse brass knuckles. Love your stove reviews. Thanks for the video.
Hmmmm you mean 3 pipes aren’t enough lol. I do have more pipes on it but I’ll add even more and see if that helps. Zombie axe knuckles, love it! Thanks for watching
Thank you for helping me laugh.
I’m so happy I could. If you’re ever in need of a laugh, find an old video. Hope they help. Thanks for watching
Pellet stoves that don't have a fan should never be horizontally vented. They need no restrictions on the venting in order to create the needed airflow. The vent should also be at least 8ft.
Shouldn’t be vented horizontally without enough updraft after the bends right? As long as there is enough draft it’s fine. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann It's difficult to get a horizontal vent to draft when it's cold. When it's real cold, your whole vent pipe cools down, which slows down the draft without any horizontal venting. That venting might work at home, while testing it at 40 deg.. But when you get in the bush and it's below freezing, you might never get it to work. A pellet stove needs a serious draft. Much greater than a regular stove. The colder it is, the harder it is to draft.
@ oh this isn’t my first time exhausting horizontally. And it was 40degrees either. I agree the pipe can cool down fast when it’s cold but I wouldn’t use a stove if it isn’t cold out. In my experience you just need enough up draft after the bends. Additionally this company does sell an inline exhaust fan for pellet stoves.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann All I'm trying to point out is the importance of making sure there isn't anything that could go wrong. I live off grid in the Alaskan bush. I have three different heat sources. Each of them have failed in the past. Venting has been an issue on a straight pipe many times. When you depend on only one source, you can't take chances.
@ understandable. Single wall pipes like hot tent stove have cool way too fast no matter what.
Try putting the kill plate in halfway
Hmm reduce the pellet feed…. I’ll give that a try. Thanks for watching
Maybe try different pellets smaller ones or chop a couple pounds up with your neck knife axe . Could fix the grate burn issue . 😂 chop chop
I have tried 2-3 different kinds of pellets. I have not tried making them smaller yet lol. Thanks for watching
Also… it doesn’t have the airflow in the pellet catch like the OG cheap pellet stove.
That’s true. I don’t think I ever had that open on the OG but maybe even closed it let some air in.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I only open it for startup/relight or when the pellets start to choke the flame after burning many hours. That ash catch has some good heat it will glow in the dark if it’s even left 1/3 open after a few hours, I’ve let the hopper run just empty and been able to dump pellets and the stove relit with me just opening the dampers, but yes I agree even with the dampers closed there is still quite a bit of air I usually run my stove with them completely closed so the stove doesn’t burn me out. It seems this model there should be just a little bit more air flow though, that burn doesn’t look as clean.
@@TheShawnyD for sure it holds heat. I’ve found hot embers a day later after letting it go out in my testing. Crazy
7 months later and the stove is still unavailable wtf!!!
Hopefully I’ll be reviewing more soon. Thanks for watching
Have you tried the hopper feed setting to the lower setting? I wonder if it may help burn the lower pellets.Try not to cut yourself on that axe.
I have. All my tests were on the lowest setting until my most recent test during this video. And it didn’t change the burning. I’ll try my best but no guarantees lol. Thanks for watching
Think you might be able to cut a small branch, definitely a twig, but not a tree lol. Still not a fan of pellet stoves, nor steel stoves cause most of the time I'm hiking for miles before I camp. Hot spots on the main cook plate are bad too. Congratulations to the winner
I’m thinking a small sapling could be possible lol. Yeah you ain’t hiking nowhere with this thing. Thanks for watching bro
I know this is a little off topic but have you seen the new megamind movie? Will Farrel isn’t coming back 😞
lol I have not seen it. Is that a reference to something in the video? Just wondering or just a weird question/statement. Thanks for watching
It's not going to draft and burn correctly without a long stove pipe on it.
I have a long stove pipe on it. Thanks for watching
Nice stove but spack jack just sounds kinda wrong lol.
Wait wait wait!!! I love the name, how’s it sound wrong? Thanks for watching
Hey Spackmann, hope you’re doing well. Have you heard Jake Paul is going to fight Mike Tyson? It’s going to be sick!
I am doing well and hope the same for you.
I can’t wait for the fight! My moneys on Tyson, how about you? Thanks for watching
So I guess I'm a winner I never won a giveaway before so burn count one for me I emailed you with my information
Oh sweet! Thank you for responding so quickly. I’ll check my email later and respond. Thank you for watching
I sent you an email about what color you want
@erickellner5622 still waiting for a response from you.
Just get a shirt pc of pipe that slides over the knob to use as a removal tool
Great idea! Thanks for watching
Why make rules to enter the grill contest if you yourself don't follow the rules?
Nothing more irritating to me than someone who gets an opportunity to or does get something for free and they complain.
I make the rules so I do what I want lmao. I feel it’s not fair to leave anyone out if they add more words to the comment. I’ll do better next time. Thanks for watching
@@BrooklynneMuffettgo to work tomorrow and tell your boss "I'll do what I want when I want because fuck rules"
Go cry to someone who gives a fuck about what you find annoying.
Nice shadow ban on my follow up
@@stephenbarabas6286 huh?
Really nice burp at 5:40.
Thank you.
They're definitely not cheap
I’m not sure I claimed they are? Thanks for watching
I'm in
Wrong video? Thanks for watching
So you got 22k subscribers and you think because you reviewed a product that was sold out and now that Amazon got "flooded with that kind of product" you think it's because of you? Smh that's so lame to assume something like that as other people review camping stoves and not just you
Lmao I had less than 10k then. Just calling it as I saw it. If you saw different please let me know. Thanks for watching!!!!
I hate stupid. Use gloves. Maybe sit on it, could keep your butt warm...
Not sure not using gloves makes someone stupid. Thanks for watching
Where's the exhaust stack
It comes out behind the hopper. Thanks for watching
I like to see a pellet stove something like this but with a fresh cold air intake
You mean with a pipe from the outside feeding the stove? Thanks for watching
@AdventureswithSpackmann yes a pipe feeding fresh oxygen directly into stove,
Not for a tent, for a shop or garage idea.
@@jeremywallace1215 hmm sounds interesting. I have done this with a wood stove and hot tent before. Worked well to not feel drafts from anywhere
Exhaust is way too short, asking for problems
I did add more pipe than were included. I’ll add more and see if it increases draw and fixes the fire problem. Thanks for watching
Take off the sunglasses, please. You're not dealing with paparazzi flashes.
Other than that, it's a good video.
The glasses are so I don’t need to know which camera lens is filming me, so I’m always looking at the camera no matter what. Glad you love the glasses. Thanks for watching
