Being new to tent stoves, ive been playing with mine in the back yard, learning how to use it to my best advantage. Learning the best size wood and proper drafting will make your tent stove experience a lot more enjoyable as well as a lot safer.
Soo long cold nights......this little guy will make those foul weather hunts a little more comfy.

What are the two tubes on the top for? Never seen anything like that before. Are they for water?
Pete, the entire top is a cooking grate which folds into a carrying handle like a suit case, they are support for the grates, and i believe more surface area to radiate heat once they get hot.
I dream of week+ long hunts returning each night to a cozy canvas home puffing out hardwood smoke. :campfire:
Slick looking set up there, one of these days I'll have a canvas wall tent with a stove like that. What size tent is that one for and how big is it?
Damon, this is the 30yr plus old Baker lodge that i will be using it in. It is 9 x 12 with the pipe hole out the side under the small flap in pic.
With the stove, it will house 2 hunters with gear very nicely. (http://%20[url=http://images.imagelinky.com/1359326008.JPG%5D%20%5Bimg%5Dhttp://images.imagelinky.com/1359326008.JPG)[/url] [/IMG]
Wow, cool! Looks perfect. Home sweet home... :campfire:
My buddy has a stove like that. You can pop a couple of taters in those tubes and bake 'em to go with your dinner.
Tater tubes.....I love it! :biglaugh:
Rick thats a great use for those tubes!
Good eats but ya gotta watch em cause they cook quick!
Nice set-up! I've been thinking about setting up a small stove like that in my boat for next winter.
Hey...that looks like the exact stove I have, except for the chimney sections. Did you create a custom chimney, and if so, what materials did you use?
What brand of stove is that? Never seen one before.
I have a near identical tent. Did you do the artwork on it ? Very nice.
The stove I have, which appears identical in everyway, is a no-name import from 'the' auction site. It was less than $100 shipped.
Looks serious to me, sorta like an F-16 with a full compliment of ordnance perch up under the wings! Love the smell of woodsmoke, so long as it's not mixed with the smell of canvas burning!
(http://i.imgur.com/TpCVB.jpg)This is a"Two-dog" stove. Its the best tent stove I've ever used. I use it in my 10'x 15' wall tent and its plenty of heat even up here in BC.You can get them bigger, 3-dog,4-dog etc.I got the small one because its so easy to load in and out of the boat or on an ATV. #38 all (http://i.imgur.com/f0UlZ.jpg) up.
I have the cylinder horse packer stove in my lil 3 pole Confederate A frame canvas tent.It will cook you out.Do alott of cooking on it too.I like your setup.What more could a guy need.Thats quite the meat wagon you have there too.
Hawken, thats where i picked up this stove as well, I had to do some minor adjustments, but it works great!

That is a nice camp set up!
Thanks for the kind words Marc. This ole tent is kinda like me, its getting older, it dont stand as straight as it used to, its getting a few wrinkles, sags and tatters but its still gettin it done . :biglaugh:
