1 more comment. Yes trial and error. I burned a lavvu down because of the insulating carbon fiber wrapped around the stove pipe. I’m a beginner and I thought heck just use the carbon fiber for a stove pipe jack. Huh uh. DONT!
So glad you mentioned Never hanging tent from top loop, I have seen bushcrafters making a tripod of limbs then do exactly this. Madness. Thanks for this concise safety video. There was a need for someone to do a hot tent safety guide, glad it is you doing it.
I haven't gone hot tent camping yet. In Washington state I did camp during a week long rain with tarps placed in several area's. We had a small Woodburn in stove fired up but obviously you had to be right next to it to dry and warm up. I am older now and had a lot of broken bones but still like camping and think it's time to use a hot tent method for comfort. Keep the videos coming.
Great video on the various safety aspects of using a stove in a tent. The hot tent wood stove I use has a baffle and I find that to be the most effective spark arrestor. If using a mesh style spark arrestor, the best place to put it is very close to the stove body so that creosote has no chance to clog it. I also feel the best way to prevent creosote build up to begin with is to burn your stove at a hot enough temperature that it doesn't form. I always recommend a stovepipe thermometer for this purpose. Also if one is use a stove pipe with fixed length segments (nesting or otherwise) it is best to orient the pipe so that the crimped end faces down (towards the ground). This will keep any creosote on the inside of your pipe. Lastly to keep your stove pipe relatively clean, once a day build a roaring inferno of a fire. This will clear off any creosote on the inside of your stove pipe. Happy hot tenting this winter season.
thank you for another great video. I flipped my stove pipe to the other end on my second burn so both ends have a strong temper to take the correct shape when I unroll it. I also direct a stove fan to blow on the pipe to 1. cool the pipe, which 2. extracts more heat to go into the tent. 3. increases dry air circulation to even the heat and dry things in the tent.
Agree w all of it and thank you! Will add though that the Winnerwell stove jack that are made of a heat resistant silicone boot that goes around the double wall section of pipe and actually creates more of a barrier from pipe to fabric…have one installed on my Bereg UP-2 and works great!
Very helpful video iv bought a tent with stove jack to get a stove in the near future and this information is invaluable to me, thank you. Il be learning from yourself and others from my sofa long before I even think of firing a stove up in my tent.
This was a ton of great information. It's definitely worth going back and rewatching to take notes, to keep at all times while hot tenting. This series has been very helpful and was very appreciated, thank you! Stay safe out there and God bless!
I've got a lot of the same gear, but none of the practical, Hands-On Experience like you do, so I have found myself Binge Watching your videos. And as soon as I saw the Safety here, I watched it twice. Many of what you talked about in this video kept me from making some grave errors. So I thank you for that. And the Spark Arrestor was something I didn't even know existed, until I watched this video. Sparks coming out of the pipe was something that has been worrying me for months as I have been gathering my gear. I'm someone that worries about the supplied Electricity & Heat sources staying on as well as the Economy remaining viable. So I like staying Self Reliant in case things go all the heck. And having a good, functioning mobile shelter means everything now. Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy them.
I like many of your videos, but the timing on this one is perfect as I am going hot tenting next weekend for the first time. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Been following you now for half a year. Youre videos are very useful and have helped me complete my first wild camp. You explain things very well and thanks for this valuable advice regarding hot tents... which I am soon to purchase.
Great video packed full of information. I am starting to get into hot tenting at the age of 63, and I found this very interesting, especially about the spark arrestor! I actually thought I would need to do that to my spark arrestor. But with your explanation and advice, I see now not to touch it. Your talk about the stove jack and what not to do, found that information very helpful and helps with my understanding of it. I already have a tent stove and just ordered a hot tent, an MCETO (I know probably not the best tent) to get started. The hot tent I ordered does have the skirts and I like how you explained how those should be used. Again, great information and I know this is a 3-year-old video, but well worth the watch for someone who is thinking about getting into hot tenting.
Thanks for talking me out of my immediate desire to put finer mesh on the spark arrester, as a CA native I’m always very nervous about traveling embers.
Your honest reviews are golden! Thank you. I plan on living mostly in the back country here in Colorado & your opinion really does matter. Of course i don't rely on your opinion alone but i do trust your thoughts & opinion.
Nothing better than warming up my Hammock Hot Tent, with a fresh burn in the woodstove, before - I get out of my sleeping bag in the morning. At -17c, I keep a carbon monoxide detector hanging by my head and a fire in the box all night long. Cheers from Canada!
I've been enjoying a lot of your videos on the Hot Tents. I've been camping for years. As I get older, I'm not as comfortable in the cold as I once was. I've been thinking about some kind of heat source for the tent just to make those exceptionally cold trips enjoyable again. But recently there is another motivation. My boys are into Boy Scouts and I've become one of the asst scoutmasters. One rule the BSA has is that we need to have a means of warming when cold camping. Typically this means a cabin or access to a motor vehicle. It would be nice to have a shelter that can be heated. I'm not sure I like the idea of the open floor. In many areas just a campfire can turn the ground into a mud pit as it begins to thaw. Don't want that in a tent. There is also the swing of weather where you can have a 50 degree day and 20 at night ( 10 to -5 C) where bugs might find the shelter when it's warmer and then love the heat later. How does that all work? Just looking for some answers and suggestions on a comfortable setup for a couple adults generally, but being able to fit 3-4 kids who need the warmth for various reasons. Thanks.
Lots of good points. I guess I have been worrying to much about asphyxiation. I love building my own gear. One of my safety tips is to try your equipment out at home if you can. I spend more time camping 60 feet from my warm dry safe cozy house than anywhere else. If something I built or bought is not working for me, I just go home and figure it out in the light of the next day. Happy Trails Lonewolf.
Thankyou so much for the this - your piece about the centre pole has just solidified our decision to go with the Hercules for winter camping with our big long haired GSD. We were already concerned about his big butt dislodging the centre pole by accident when he fidgets overnight, but the comments about it getting hot has finalised my choice to go for a dome tent, to keep him safe. Thankyou so much!
I have two purchased hot tents: Smokey Hut and Preself w/half mesh. I haven’t decided what folding stove. Questions: 1. ..too hot for a carbon fiber center pole? ..or using a collapsible carbon fiber fishing rod (tip sections not extended)? 2. ..have you ever used a cot? ..did the cot float, or sink in the snow? 3. ..if you damp it down, can you get the heat adjusted to a comfortable level, ..rather than too hot.
Cots work great after you either pack in the snow or add spruce bows to create a floor, carbon fiber pole is not recommended for a very hot wood stove, and yes the temperature is controllable
The spark arrester tip is so valuable, I actually had some Stainless steel mesh from work that I was going to put into a spark arrester when I purchase one, hopefully in the next couple of months. Thank you.
Thanks so much for doing this video! I kept looking for info about how high the stove pipe should be above the tent, other safety info and couldn't find much of anything. I'm finally able to get out and camp more and am very interested in doing some winter camping. Thanks for the great info to help us all have safe, enjoyable camping experiences!
Man, thank you for your time in making this video! Hot tenting and the whole solo camping is something I've slowly started getting into trying to get the complete awesome experience of the outdoors. This video has answered all the worries I had about running a stove in small tent!
Hello, my brother from north of the Canadian border!!! Excellent informative briefing on the use and misuse of tent stoves and the tents they heat. I was in a very cold deer camp in east Texas in (I believe) 1966 or 67, and, in my preadolescent mind, I visualized a small stove to heat it. Mind you, this was a large 8 person heavy canvas tent ... and we slept (sat and ate) on old military cots (very pleasant memories)!!! Even in the cold (I properly layered my clothes), I had a great time. It is very gratifying that this vision became reality. Thank you so much for the series and more especially, thank you for such an in-depth safety review!!! This was truly professionally done. Please keep the videos coming!!! Me and mine wish you and yours all things great and good!!! Take care, be safe, all my best and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas, USA. 🤠🐩🖖✝️👍
Excellent video! I would also add to learn how to use your stove in your own backyard before you take it out camping. Like my dad always said, the time to learn how to change a tire is not on the side of the road. Do it in the driveway first.
Another recommendation I would suggest is to put the pipe opening to the leeward side. With that sparks are blown away from the tent and not over the rooftop. I tighten the gap on the floor on my sleeping side and let the stove side wider open. I'm also not closing the zipper completely. Under normal weahter conditions the wind blows from west to east and the stove stands on the east side and with the tent shown in your vid the door facing southwards. That's the reason why the stove pipe opening is to your right hand side.
Very good suggestion. I would also add be careful of neighboring tents. Sparks can travel far and burn other tents nearby. I reccomend at lest 25 ft away from other tents.
Very clear explanation, thank you!! One question comes to mind: how safe would a Onetigris roc shield be with a stove? This in regard to the 12 inch clearance around the stove...
This was a great series. Very informative. I’ve been hot tenting for a few years and still learned some things. Having never done it, the bit on guying out the spark arrestor, was good info. Keep up the great content!
This is great 👍 i have gotten a hot tent this year and made a ammo can stove for it and my Lavvu, although it dont rain or much it does get cold . It great learning about this as it will be my first time using it this winter.
arctic oven tents have a seal around the stove jack hole , I haven't had one issue using my arctic oven igloo and wood stove in 5 years of using it in the Alaska wilderness.
@@Lonewolfwildcamping oh I get it, I was just saying there are some respectable tent manufacturers who use a seal, Arctic Oven being one of them. Have you used one of their tents? Not for back packing, big heavy but well designed for -0F to -30F use.
Found you recently love your video's I'm getting ready to start camping at 54 so thanks for such great information I'm looking forward to my upcoming adventures but learning all I can first 👍👍👍
Excellent video. Thank you for this. I've still never done hot tent camping, but I watch your channel religiously at this point because I'm really tired of city living and grinding my life away for a paycheck. I'm planning to homestead, once I can get my hands on a little bit of land. While I'm curating the land, I will be mostly hammock camping, so that's what drew me to your channel, but damned if these stove setups haven't been inspiring and eye-opening for me. THIS video is a perfect example of grade A content! I say that as a "youtuber" that has uploaded crappy, low energy VODs of my videogames for years. I love UA-cam and this is exactly what this platform is for. Information. I know youre not on the hammock stuff as much anymore, but I appreciate the videos you made. I can't afford an underquilt, so I'm using a zero degree bag and an autoshade for a pad inside my hammock. Where I live, that has worked so far, but I'm sure as the winters get colder, that will change. You're channel may legitimately save people's lives one day. Seriously man. I appreciate the heck out of ya! 💪❤️🏕️
Glad I watched this, I home brewed a spark arrestor. All it is is a small flour sifter. Thought bits be great. But ok makes sense mesh is to small and is gonna become clogged. I better drill some holes
Make sure to keep a close eye on the grate of the sifter. Like LW said, the holes on the arrestor should be specifically shaped and sized, so the sifter will work to catch, but make sure it's not getting clogged or gummed with carbon because its not gonna warn ya when that soot just goes up in flames. Keep it clean and shiny as much as you can! 👍🏕️
@@gummywormjim I think leave the bottom of the sifter as is. And drill a few larger holes in side of sifter. And of course make sure sifter fits right. Cause right now not just slides all the way down on stove pipe. Gotta fashion it to stay raised. I really am glad I saw this. Cause I problem would have learned another hard lesson
Hmm built my own wood burning stove, going to give it a trial run next weekend in the tent. Thanks for the tips most I knew but like the guidelines on the spark arrestor, that's all I didn't cover. 👍👍
Very informative, thank you. Why do you think companies like seek recommend short stove pipes? I ordered a cimerron with recommended 6ft pipe but now will call before they ship and pay for the extra foot needed.
Excellent Information. Thank you so much for putting this together - especially filming it in the Field after having just used yer stove for two nights. Invaluable and potent safety tips here. My one question is about snow camping in a Chouinard Mega Mid with these stoves. I like to dig out benches/bunks and a cooking area in my mid. More space and stand up options. Would you recommend mebbe a lightweight fire proof board to keep the stove from melting itself down into the snow? Mebbe it need not be fireproof? Ideally I could create one with found objects if they were not buried in the snow. How hot to the bases of the legs get? Again, many thanks for this video instructional creation. Impressive. Also, I noticed how you handled the stove pipe - how subconsciously mindful you were about the sharp edge.
Lone wolf... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom, I am new to '' hot tenting '' But you have taught me a few things... Thank you so much 👍
im completely new to camping and I find your videos very helpful. you explain things really well and easy to understand and remember. I hope to learn more things from you. wish you more subscribers and viewers.
We don't get the luxury of hard woods but dry dead standing wood is a must here. Also i don't use a spark arrestor as they have become a royal pain in the Ass. All of my 'problem' sparks are do to creosote burning out of the Ti pipe. No way to stop that. Even the seek outside spark arrestor would plug up and it is at the bottom of the pipe(see they have put the arrestor on a swivel like the dampener so you can open it up...that will help immensely especially with burning pine and a cold start or in restoking the fire ). Seam seal fixes all my wee spark holes in my silpoly tent.
HRM should Contract you out for consultation for the current tent setups, safety for the many encampments in Halifax, Dartmouth, Sackville and all areas.
1 more comment. Yes trial and error. I burned a lavvu down because of the insulating carbon fiber wrapped around the stove pipe. I’m a beginner and I thought heck just use the carbon fiber for a stove pipe jack. Huh uh. DONT!
Veru glad you are safe. It is dangerous to do so. Thank you for sharing this information.
RIP your poor lavvu 😭
@@mysterylovescompany2657 I got a new one. Needed a size 3 anyway
Everyone who gets a hot tent and stove should watch your videos
I have truly learned so much from this video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I'm very happy it was helpful
Excellent video about time someone pointed out the dangers to watch out for when hot tenting many thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you, and I agree. All fun till someone gets hurt, I hope this helps
This is by far the most informative video on the subject of hot tenting. You have a great talent for this!

This is a must see who loves hot tenting! Its a safety and also avoiding damaging your investment
I'm glad you enjoyed it
Thankyou for all your information and training! I'm learning!

Yep, I tried a small square of window screen for a spark arrester. It clogs quickly.
I've been enjoying a lot of your videos on the Hot Tents. I've been camping for years. As I get older, I'm not as comfortable in the cold as I once was.

..have you ever used a cot?
..did the cot float, or sink in the snow?

I got that military wood stove (fairly cheap). Most guys on YT say the spark arrestor stinks and needs improvement...what should i do?
I reccomend 1cm square chicken wire. Works great

Amazing video. Learned a lot. Definitely getting an extension for my pipe.
This is great 👍 i have gotten a hot tent this year and made a ammo can stove for it and my Lavvu, although it dont rain or much it does get cold . It great learning about this as it will be my first time using it this winter.
Ammo can stoves are an excellent way to get started 🤙🤙
arctic oven tents have a seal around the stove jack hole , I haven't had one issue using my arctic oven igloo and wood stove in 5 years of using it in the Alaska wilderness.
The material of the seal on those is designed to reduce heat transfer. Also increases the monoxide poisoning factor significantly.
@@Lonewolfwildcamping oh I get it, I was just saying there are some respectable tent manufacturers who use a seal, Arctic Oven being one of them. Have you used one of their tents? Not for back packing, big heavy but well designed for -0F to -30F use.
Yes , I have slused very similar tents, definitely a different approach in manufacturing and unique. But this video is intended for beginners
Thanks for the detail, important in a video on safety.
Found you recently love your video's I'm getting ready to start camping at 54 so thanks for such great information I'm looking forward to my upcoming adventures but learning all I can first 👍👍👍

THIS video is a perfect example of grade A content! I say that as a "youtuber" that has uploaded crappy, low energy VODs of my videogames for years. I love UA-cam and this is exactly what this platform is for. Information.
I know youre not on the hammock stuff as much anymore, but I appreciate the videos you made. I can't afford an underquilt, so I'm using a zero degree bag and an autoshade for a pad inside my hammock. Where I live, that has worked so far, but I'm sure as the winters get colder, that will change.
You're channel may legitimately save people's lives one day. Seriously man. I appreciate the heck out of ya! 💪❤️🏕️
Thank you so very much for that, and hold on to that hammock thought for a bit 🤭😉
@@Lonewolfwildcamping 😁‼️can't wait!
Thanks. Knowledge is power 🙏
Thank you
Great job!!! Thanks,,,,BTW Carbon Monoxide is Co (C and O)
Yes
Glad I watched this, I home brewed a spark arrestor. All it is is a small flour sifter. Thought bits be great. But ok makes sense mesh is to small and is gonna become clogged. I better drill some holes
The home made options are excellent but do much testing and see if the results are safe 🤙
Make sure to keep a close eye on the grate of the sifter. Like LW said, the holes on the arrestor should be specifically shaped and sized, so the sifter will work to catch, but make sure it's not getting clogged or gummed with carbon because its not gonna warn ya when that soot just goes up in flames. Keep it clean and shiny as much as you can! 👍🏕️
🤙🤙
@@gummywormjim I think leave the bottom of the sifter as is. And drill a few larger holes in side of sifter. And of course make sure sifter fits right. Cause right now not just slides all the way down on stove pipe. Gotta fashion it to stay raised. I really am glad I saw this. Cause I problem would have learned another hard lesson
best video ever, everyone must watch. thank you for going in depth!
Thank you very much
Woth it . Top form . Glad I watched it . Thanks for the responsible effort .
Thank you
Great information in this video. Thank you so much.
Thank you😊
That was a lot of good information presented very well, thank you.
Do you have a link to the spark arrestor? Great video!!!
This may be a silly question but can you use the Pomoly stoves inside the house as an emergency stove?
In an emergency yes
@@Lonewolfwildcamping Thank you! Love your channel. New sub👍
Welcome to the channel
Hmm built my own wood burning stove, going to give it a trial run next weekend in the tent. Thanks for the tips most I knew but like the guidelines on the spark arrestor, that's all I didn't cover. 👍👍
Good luck 🤙
Would you recommend smokey hut as a starter hot tent for large adult and a ten year old? Will there be enough room with the pomoly mini stove?
It is an excellent starter hot tent. Me and my son both fit, but I will say when you are inside stay put and don't be playing musical seats 🤙😉
Thanks for a really helpful video a great summary off tips.
Glad it was helpful
Very informative, thank you. Why do you think companies like seek recommend short stove pipes? I ordered a cimerron with recommended 6ft pipe but now will call before they ship and pay for the extra foot needed.
Excellent Information. Thank you so much for putting this together - especially filming it in the Field after having just used yer stove for two nights. Invaluable and potent safety tips here. My one question is about snow camping in a Chouinard Mega Mid with these stoves. I like to dig out benches/bunks and a cooking area in my mid. More space and stand up options. Would you recommend mebbe a lightweight fire proof board to keep the stove from melting itself down into the snow? Mebbe it need not be fireproof? Ideally I could create one with found objects if they were not buried in the snow. How hot to the bases of the legs get? Again, many thanks for this video instructional creation. Impressive. Also, I noticed how you handled the stove pipe - how subconsciously mindful you were about the sharp edge.
Thanks for the video. Very good information. Learned a lot from it.
Thanks for enjoying
This was one hell of a video man really helpful and I thank you some life saving tips here! Well done

Great info Bro 👍 thanks for sharing and keep up the great work ✌️😎
Thanks for enjoying
Great video as always, thanks for the information!
Thank you very much
Lone wolf... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom, I am new to '' hot tenting ''
But you have taught me a few things... Thank you so much 👍
Thank you
Thanks so much for all your tips. I see your tent doesn't have a fly, does it have a lot of condensation when heating in the winter? Thanks very much.
Thank you, the condensation burns off from the wood stove
Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge..
😁👍
Invaluable information thank you sir! Happy trails
Thank you, stay safe 😊
You’re welcome safety first!
Always safety first😊
Excellent info. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
All solid points my friend. You made two points that I didn't realize. Thanks for the tips. Cheers
Thanks alot for enjoying the video. Which 2 points are you referring to?
@@Lonewolfwildcamping keeping the gui lines loose for the pipe and not using a mesh for the spark arrestor
Excellent points, very important ones too that often get overlooked by so many 😊👍
Thanks for all of the info and advice 👍👍😎
Great video indeed! Thanks for making this video for us. Cheers!
Thank you for enjoying
im completely new to camping and I find your videos very helpful. you explain things really well and easy to understand and remember. I hope to learn more things from you. wish you more subscribers and viewers.
Really happy I could help
We don't get the luxury of hard woods but dry dead standing wood is a must here. Also i don't use a spark arrestor as they have become a royal pain in the Ass. All of my 'problem' sparks are do to creosote burning out of the Ti pipe. No way to stop that. Even the seek outside spark arrestor would plug up and it is at the bottom of the pipe(see they have put the arrestor on a swivel like the dampener so you can open it up...that will help immensely especially with burning pine and a cold start or in restoking the fire ).
Seam seal fixes all my wee spark holes in my silpoly tent.
Spark arrestor rarely offer any protection from sparks but its worth having installed to catch at least some sparks
Thanks for all the tips .
You are very welcome
HRM should Contract you out for consultation for the current tent setups, safety for the many encampments in Halifax, Dartmouth, Sackville and all areas.
for a small tent like the one in the video, what are your opinions on those fans that sit on the stove, particularly in freezing winter temps?
What temperature is recommended to use the stove inside? Below freezing? Below zero? Im assuming I wouldn’t need it unless it’s under 32 degrees F
Just bought a pomoly hot tent and stove. Let’s goooo
🙌👍
Brilliant video- very informative thank you
Thank you
