It would have been easy to edit out the mistake on the roof, but not editing it out is one of the many reasons why this channel and the Wranglerstar family are so great.

It is always appreciated that you show your mistakes as well as your success!

Known as "Fatwood" here. That stuff is excellent!

That stove jack flap is not only to cover the hole when the stove is not installed, but also as a flap above the jack even when a pipe is installed to prevent water from above from hitting the pipe and dripping in. You'll definitely want to repair that flap with a good patch of cloth and waterproofing for the weather.

My grand father used his 22 rifle to put the hole in for any damper on his farm. No need for a drill. Try it next time.

Cut the female ends off the existing pipe sections so they are short enough to fit in your stove. The total height will of course be a little shorter - so add another section if you need it. Problem solved.

I'm glad that you make mistakes too. You need a spark arrestor and rain cap .

nothing like sitting down at the desk with some eggs and some leftover Christmas ham and a cup of coffee to find a Wranglerstar video to enjoy with it! It just gives me the fizz!!!

We call it Fatwood Cody. Stay Warm!

The way you laugh when realizing your mistake, I've been there. What a wonderful life where one can chuckle whole heartedly at a goof up, even if it's an expensive mistake. May God bless you.

Some of my happiest times were living in my wall tent in Michigans U.P! Nothing like your tent glowing with a nice woodstove inside! Its magical!

From what I've heard West coast guys are good at sewing.

I've been a viewer for a long time, rarely do I comment. I really enjoy how you talk about granddad, Many fond memories .....and life lessons came to me through my grandfather. He had an easier time teaching me than my father did. I recently took my 12 yr old son on his first elk hunt, though we we're comfortably glamping in a Colorado mountain cabin, it did have the nostalgic feel of the men gathering for the annual hunt. Thanks for not editing out that mistake with the flap.

We’ve all been there. Get jacked up/excited about a project and rush it making a mistake. Nobody was injured and no major monetary damage. This year especially, hindsight is 2020.

I have the same memory with my Dad and Elk hunting trips in western Colorado with a old Wall tent And one of the trips was the 1st time I learned how to use leverage to get a truck on stuck With nothing but a log and rock

A .22 makes a perfect hole for a draft in the stove pipe. We were outfitters for 35 yrs and that's how we did our 8 tents with stoves. Very easy. Watching brings back memories. Like you and grandad tents with poles. Enjoyed video

Thanks for the descriptive titles; it helps when trying to find content.

In Germany fatwood is known as "Kienspan". In medieval times they used long kindlings of Kienspan to light up houses. It still was used in the 19th century by people that couldn't afford candles. They also used it in mining. Miners held a piece of burning Kienspan with their teeth to have a light in their working space. I use fatwood for starting fire, but I use only some shavings. Fine shavings of fatwood will take a spark from a ferro rod pretty easy, even if wet. The fatwood Cody used looks a lot like the stuff you are able to buy at walmart. No problem with that. People buy and use lots of artificial fire starters like fatrope, waxed sawshavings or petroleum soaked wood. I am going into the woods, and I am looking for old, rotten stumps of windfallen pine trees. If you are lucky, you'll find plenty of fatwood or Kienspan in the root system. If there are solid, hard parts in an otherwise rotten stump, you probably have fatwood. I found about 20 lbs five weeks ago when walking the dog in a pine forrest. It might have been the core of an old pine tree, where everything around has rotted away and only the solid core, saturated with sap, stayed together. It just was lying there on the ground.

Cutting the flap cover is no biggie. Easy to repair mistake

Cody I love this channels honesty. Your story is true, mishaps and everything. This is why I love it!

Maybe when you take it apart you can do a video about canvas repair! Way to think ahead for the next video! Can't wait to put one of these little stoves in my home made trailer camper!

Another benefit of the fire is that once the interior heats up the ground will thaw giving you a earthy smell that (to myself) seems very comforting.

I love the camp stoves. I am looking for one around where I love. They totally change what you can cook at a campsite.

That is so cool that you had mentioned the little Minam. I have also done some Elk hunting there! It’s crazy how one name or a place can just zap you back in time to those memories places and people and great times! I now realize now to me anyway it’s all about the time and memories! Many people get caught up in the material nice things in life. And are missing the biggest part because all that is just stuff that you can’t take with you! Thank you for the video takes me back! As I’m sure it does you too God bless.

I learn stuff even about things I thought I was adequately adapt at from every video. I have a really nice four dog stove, unfortunately it doesn't get cold enough when I'm available to camp to use it much. Really well finished and works great. The water heater is great for coffee and tea but takes some attention to keep full. Thanks MR. W!

Loving the videos Cody, wall tents....!! I know nothing about these but I'm learning every days a school day. Snow expected here tonight in Ireland. Stay warm people.

Why not cut an inch or two off each of the stove pipes,. Then they would fit in the stove for packing...

I really like the longer than 10 min videos.

Great tents. We just used ours in November for deer hunting in Michigan's UP. My dad, 5 brothers and I have had it for about 20 years now. Time to add a 2nd one with all of our boys starting to come.

I was cringing as soon as you started cutting the X. All while thinking, surely he rolled the flap... hopefully viewers will learn from this.

The tent looks really nice! And with the wood stove it will be very cozy.

Refurbish that stove. It would make a great series.

Love these videos. I miss my mother and father and my older brother. It’s great to see a family as close and Godly as yours. Prayers always!

Here in Sweden the similar tent is either a Goahti, looks like a cone, or almost like yours but with not as much wall, and most importantly it rests on just two poles on either side.

This tent looks like so much fun. I wish I was there to enjoy it.

You might soon need to make a shirt saying "What's done is done" ;D.

A cozy canvas cabin sounds awesome.

Looks like a kniCo stove out of wallowa Oregon, I just bought one, they sell the shelves and water tanks

I believe another accessory you could get for the stove is instead of a water tank, is a tray for extending the stove top for warming pots & kettles.

Cody, Don't forget about stove polish. I never knew there was such a thing until the Army introduced it to me. I wasn't thrilled with the introduction.

For a West Coast man you sure love the East coast music! Enjoy!

I like how you are so casual about the little mistakes. It Speaks of your personality have a great day sir

Hearing that zipper brought me right back to my tent hunting days!

Souther man here, In my neck of the woods is normally called “fat wood”

I could see us using this Alpha tent for going camping or in our backyard for our extra family and friends coming to visit us once we get through this COVID-19 experience. It would be fun just for fun outdoors or for cooking outside during the hot summers and keeping our homes cooler.

You have a nice set up. I used to dream of being able to go to the back country on a elk hunt and staying in a wall tent and having a wood stove. I live in Ohio so not a whole lot of packing canvas tents and camping in the back country. I was lucky though my grandfather did have land in the middle of National forest so he built a one room concrete floor log cabin. It had a wood stove i have a lot of memories though . Just like you to with packing in and staying in a tent. Those were good time. Now days I stay at my home and light up the wood stove in deer season and it reminds me of all the times at the cabin

Yay!! I’m so glad that I’m not the only person that ends up with multiple holes in a drilling project!

Was looking for a small canvas tent over the summer , couldn't bring myself to buy a import and hadn't heard of the company that makes these tents so I did with out. Looked at they're website and I don't feel the prices are bad at all. Thank you for sharing this video.

Who else loves the fact Cody owns his mistakes, points them out and dont edit to hide them? 2nd best channel on KZfaq in my opinion.

When I was in CT, one of the Scout Leaders in our Cub Scout pack had one of these (with a wood stove) and brought it to our winter campouts and we loaded it with boys.

Just slotting the end of one of the pipes for the dampener to fit in would have been a whole lot easier

You can drill a hole for the damper by shooting it with a 22 pistol

My stove like that, I ended up welding on an inside plate right over the flue. Kinda like what your guy did for the intake, but for the exhaust side. That way the flames can't just shoot straight up and out. Helps out with burning the extra smoke and getting more out of your wood. Plus, less smoke outside. Nothing fancy, just a bent sheet over the exhaust. \_/

Here in South Florida we call it "lighter knot" wood. There is no question whether it will light or not.

PS: I've also had a COVID haircut since March...

I really admire how you leave little mistakes like that in the videos. A real man owns up to messing up, and helps others not to follow the same path :)

A good floor liner in one of these tents make a world of difference to it really get it feeling like home

My grandfather, the sheep rancher, used a 1 gallon paint can to cover the stove pipe sticking up from his sheep-tending trailer. He moved the wire handle to the bottom of the can and used a stick to put it on and off. The big-box hardware stores sell empty paint cans.

You are honest to a fault Cody. You show true content, it just makes you so relatable when you show mistakes. You’re 100% genuine.

Very nice! I appreciate how you show mistakes and laugh them off. Too many KZfaqrs don't show that. Thanks!

You can find a canvas tint patch for the hole. Be a good spring time project.

Wow! That stove is an absolute beauty 😍 Even today, with the leg design etc, it looks super modern 😲 Crazy how well things hold up when both looked after but more importantly! Made properly and with PRIDE! I'm sure it's got another 40yrs+ left in it too 👌🏼

We always called it “fat pine.” Great video! 👍🏻🇺🇸

LOL... "What's done is done." My attitude exactly! Don't look back; there's no point in it.

I love woodstoves, I can't wait to leave the city and have one in the house.

Cool view of the house at 18:36! can't wait to see more!

That's the cutest little wood stove! I just want to pet it... is it hot? I remember in my college years I spent a year or two in an unheated flat. I bought a little coal stove at a ma & pa hardware store about 6 blocks away and carried it home. Then I went back and bought a bag of coal and carried THAT home. It was heaven! I had previously spent a winter in a room of an unheated house. I can attest that coal heat was impressively better than unheated. I went home to my parents' on weekends to get warm... The stove, like the chimney, was formed sheet metal, so I'm sure that cast iron stove can handle coal, which is TONS more efficient than even greasewood.

Oh well, a professional home owner never claims to be perfect. Good reason for a how to patch the canvas flap video.

Mrs W can sew a patch into the top cover with the W logo in it.

Nice work . Lots of room in there .

You putting that stovepipe together made every HVAC guy pull his hair out.😂😂 great little stove you got there

"you can light this stuff with a match." brings a torch anyway.

We used to place an elbow on the top to keep rain and snow out.

Greetings from South Africa

I totally respect that you made a mistake with cutting in the chimney pipe and didn’t edit it out. It shows how real you are and your integrity. Thank you!

Great series! What a stove!

That was a nice video today, Glad you are enjoying your tent. Silly little things makes use remeber of a different time

I'm sure Cody was just demonstrating how easy coasters would install stove pipe😁.

i do love the "warts and all" aspect of your videos. Makes me feel a little more normal.

Don't sweat the hole, Cody. They'll probably send you out a new flap, then you can do a video on how to use one of those sewing awls to install it.

Nice little stove. I really want to try cooking something on it.

Not sure if it ever gets windy there, but I’d love to see your take on a solution to securing the chimney. I recently got a canvas tent and my first use was in a crazy wind storm and I wasn’t able to use my Camp Chef Alpine Wood Stove. It was a cold night!

Very nice looking set up.

Awesome job!

It looks great Cody.

That is a great setup, I'm sure you have a spark arrestor in your plan for the top.

I love watching an engineer work! It never gets old. Keep up the good work!

Put your dampener close to the celing. It exposes more fire box heat by surface area to the tent.

A very neat tent

Growing up in the south east, we called the pitch wood "light-r-not". Pull it straight out of a stream and it would light. I would really like to go winter camping with a hot tent and portable wood stove. There are companies that make some that are totally collapsible and man backpackable (if that's even a word). I enjoyed watching the video.

BTW, the aprons lets you place poles or logs on them - folded against the ground to keep the wind out. And don't forget the plastic tarp. Canvass is 80% water-proof. The other 20% drips rain and melted snow and wet snow will pile up about 4 feet on the canvass before the ridge starts sagging. Couldn't even roll over in my sleeping bag one time.

that's a cute little stove ,, i don't think i have ever seen a camp stove like it , i made one myself out of a 100 pound propane tank that i use to heat my garage ,it'll heat my 30x40 uninsulated steel building very well i can get it to 60F using a draft blower and oil dripper even when it's -10F outside ,,i made a smaller one out of a #30 tank a couple years ago that works great as well ,,i use it both when camping and in my work shop trailer which is just an old semi trailer and it'll cook you out of it if you have a hot fire,, i actually love wood heat ,, my family heats oour farm house with a big wood stove

A string to measure the circumference and then divide in half for the holes is what I do, then measure from one end of the pipe to make both holes even spaced.

That sap wood works wonders for fire starting competitions in the boy scouts. Needed some slight of hand to sneak it in there though.

I live down here in Georgia and I’ve always called it oil wood

Relaxing video. Reminds me of Russell Coight.

Looks very similar to the “Yukon” stoves we used in the Army. Except they had a burner on top and ran on gas. All the pipe stored inside.

What a cool set up

With a stove that small you will have to load more wood pretty frequently in frigid temperatures.

When I was a kid, I'd read the famous hunting book classics by the likes of Jack O'Conner and Fred Bear and they'd use these canvas tents. I always thought there was something magical about canvas tents with the wood stoves.
