all in all i was pleased as punch -16 for temps
30 min set up time 10 minutes to take down and put away.stove worked great but could be bigger for late season
had to reload every 3 hrs
slept six but was crammed like sardines .4 would be max next outing.:-D.

would be good for 3 people ..cots on the outside and could put a few chairs to sit beside the stove and drink hot rums..

You might be able to get longer burn times by putting a damper in the flue... Oooops, just saw that you have one already, missed it the first time looking at the pic.

Nice set up!

Nice set up Glen. Our stove is 28" long. We throw 24" long wood in it. Works great. Can not see the door. Can you control the air without opening the door?

After a week and a half burning that beetle pine, Our chimney was all sooted up. To almost a chimney fire. Dad is looking for another stove. this one is rusting out. Give me a few minutes and I will post what the stove looks like in my gallery. Mark

Mark i had problems with my spark arrester up top plugging up too ...theres another story all in itself lol i ended up taking it off it was a pain in the ass .

i used it in the summer months and without the stove there was a lot of condensation build up on the inner walls ..with the stove none .

Just a thought. Maybe try positioning the damper so it is a couple pipes up. Could give you a few more btu's from the pipe itself.

As far as the spark arrester, we tried one once. Had problems with it as well, and it did not seem to make a difference when we removed it. Have not used one since. No holes in the tent to speak of. Just in case though, a role of duct tape is always at hand for a quick fix.

Is it made out of canvas? See if you can find one of those solar powered fans for the top to get the air to ciculate a bit more. Or leave the door open a bit. Or stop bringing your girl friend. Ha Ha. Good call WB. our damper is also two feet above the stove, It gets red hot. Picture are in my gallery.

You use a liner in your tipi to cut down on condensation ?
