My stove jack will be arriving soon and i need some advice on where on my tent i should put it. I made the stove out of a 45 gallon drum and i have double walled 6" stove pipe. I really dont want to run it staight up and out the roof at the highest point in the tent as its 7 feet to the wall from the centre pole and i want a little distance from the stove itself and besides my propane lantern will be hanging off the centre pole. I would like the stove to be on one side of the tent but ill also need advice on how far from the wall i need to be to stop excessive heat hitting the canvas. Feel free to copy/paste the pic in your replies with a mark to show me where you would place your jack. Also i cant figure out for the life of me how to properly close the door on this tent to keep rain and snow out. Its got 3 ties down each side of the door opening. Gary Edited by gary murray |

If you can sue McDonalds for getting you fat then why can't you sue the alcohol companies for all the ugly people you ended up sleeping with?

That is going to be a tough one. I suspect the 45 gal Stove is going to run you out of the tent from the heat. General guide lines is that the top of the flue of a stove has to be 2 ft above any surface within 10 ft to draw correctly, but I'm not sure if that applies to tents. In any case, I think you will have to put your pipe out at an angle and secure it with cord or wire. You need to have your stove at least 2 ft from any flammable surface. More is better.

Thanx Saddle. I did cut the 45 gallon drum in half so its not a full size one if that will make a difference or not. Gary |

I like a stove to the left of the door, as I go in. Handy to stack wood out of the way.
