My stepfather was a sheet metal worker and welder and when we went deer hunting in a 12 x 12 tent on a wood platform with an 8X!2 attached homesote addition, we used a sheet metal stove he had made for our garage. It drove us out of the tent with the heat. The next year we used a smaller version he made and that was perfect, even down to 20 below zero. He was a bit skeptical we could be so comfortable in a tent but we were for 11 years until he died. We had to turn the stove down at night or it would be too hot to sleep. Some years earlier, we had hunted out of a tent camper trailer with a propane apartment heater we were afraid to run at night for fear of carbon monoxide. It was unvented. The water froze in out pail and my boots froze to the floor and we were all pretty miserable. So we weren't quite sure what to expect with this new tent.
That would depend on factors like temperature and wind, but I would say an average of 10 pcs of fire wood per night with OUR stove. A better airtight stove would burn less I'm sure.
I just moved into a 16×24 canvas wall tent. My friend suggested dropping the wilderness 5 woodstove into the ground to heat the tent as we up ap north in Canada. I'm looking for info on this as I'm thinking to do it.
My friend said that it heated his tent better and the ground was so warm that he would walk around barefoot in minus 40 weather. I guess he knows another couple in the Yukon who did this also and the whole tent stays warm. I just cant find any info on the internet about this and am doing some research on it before I do it.
I’m Canadian researching wall tent living. I’ll be moving to a subarctic climate, so am a bit worried about keeping warm. Please let me know what you find out about putting your stove in the ground. Never heard of this before. Thanks!
I did not do it this year, as I didnt have time. I also could not find any information on how to do it. Plus, I have a puppy and was worried about her falling in the stove. If we spend another winter in the tent, I'm going to figure out a way to do it. If you find any info let me know.
Incredible how hot it got within the hour.. and with such a little stove. It was comforting to watch. Thank you
Thanks for watching!

Great demonstration, thanks!
THANKS FOR WATCHING
Another excellent video, thanks Andy!
Glad you enjoyed it
I will be staying in my tent tomorrow night, and am expecting 2 - 24 inches lol. Its amazing how quick these tents heat up.
Love winter storms!! We will be at ours as well. Have fun!!
How many wood logs do you need per cold night to keep it warm?
I'm very interested in learning this too 😊

@@mytwelveacres3071 thank you very much for your quick response. Greetings from Monterrey NL Mexico.
You should lay a fire before you leave. So that when u return u just strike a match.

Hey Susan L, I’ve not seen that technique before. What are the advantages of it?
My friend said that it heated his tent better and the ground was so warm that he would walk around barefoot in minus 40 weather.

No so-called global warming there LOL
