Hi Mark, Thanks for giving us a first burn up review. The smoke you got in the glass window was because: 1. you used a smoky fire starter looks like a fatwood. 3. you started the smoky fire too near the door. 4. the firewood was too long, its end is smoking right in the glass window. 5. the burning end of the firewood was too near the lower half of the air intake restricting the primary air flow. 6. the random strong wind gust was causing a reverse air flow from the chimney causing smoke to come out through the window glass gap, the air intake port, and the door gaps. 7. the spark arrester poor design is restricting the chimney exhaust full flow, and even catching the wind gust and aiding to reverse the air flow through the chimney. All of these have contributed to the initial black soot on the front door including the glass window but primarily on the fire start up. I doubt that the soot on the window glass was built up through the course of normal operation. I have a very similar stove design bought from Amazon, Gravforce brand, with additional glass window on one side, no door seals, and without any spark arrester, but did not have that much soot as you experienced. During normal operation, all the air gaps on the door including the window glass gap will even serve as additional primary and secondary air supplies. Just make sure that the chimney pipes are fitted tightly and most importantly the chimney pipe flange screwed to the fire box in order to create a strong chimney suction effect. I agree that the chimney pipe is a little bit small (60mm diam) but can still work well if you start fire in the middle of the stove (further from glass window(s)) and using smaller and shorter firewood proportionate to the sizes of the stove fire box and chimney pipe. Smaller fire boxes require more fire tending than the bigger ones because of the smaller fuel size. A good example are the popular foldable backpacking wood stoves which need very small sticks for fuel but require almost constant fire tending. Please keep on with your very educational and helpful reviews. I’m one of your fans🤗

Interesting timing, Mark. I just finished a new tent stove this morning. Same 8" x 8", but only 10 1/4" long. Found some 20ga stainless at an illegal dump site in the bush. I made two interchangeable doors - one similar to yours for wood and a pellet feeder door the same design as one I made for my bigger stove. Should be camping next month.

Hello, Mark. I am no expert on tent stoves but I have progressed from my diy stove made with a large popcorn tin and 2 inch dia. stainless steel pipe to a very heavy stainless stove (50lb. heavy duty but damn it is heavy). I could say I have some experience with hot tent camping. A couple of concerns. First, after you have done your initial burn, you must have another burn with your chimney assembled opposite of what you did before. Top section goes to the bottom and bottom goes to the top so you throughly clean out the protective oil and such. Second I do not believe that stove is a very good one. The door does not have to be sealed tight. Tight ish is usually good enough but that glass and the plate in top must be sealed. If not, smoke leaking will get worse when you dampen the stove to go to sleep. Not something you want in your tent. One other thing is that you will have to use hammock or cot in your tent because floor of your tent will become a muddy bog. Yiu will need a huge tent to accommodate all the furniture you are going to have. Will be fun. I sold my big stove this winter which big enough that I could squeeze in 3 hours of sleep between feeding the stove. I am eyeing Pomoly T2 (bigger one) and stainless one with big front opening glass door. Hope I can find a off season sale this summer. Geez, sorry about an endless rant. Appreciate your effort to bring good info, Mark. Be safe in your tent.

Nicely presented demonstration of this stove. I definitely agree, those "rack/handles" are not safe to put much of anything on, as the are. I'd put a bushing of sorts on the bits of the racks that make contact with the sides of the stove when open, so they're more level. Don't bend them level, as that weakens metal. I'd probably only use those racks for momentarily setting a small skillet, or plate on, when serving up food. I also don't like how low to the ground that stove sits. I'd want to carry along some sort of heat shielding to protect the tent floor with. I like your idea of applying a mesh around the outside of the spark arrester. Definitely not safe. Thanks for sharing this.

Good morning,, if you close the front air draft down some once the fire is established, it'll draw air from any holes and around your glass, stopping smoke in the tent and keeping the glass cleaner. You could also try putting you dampner pipe higher up the chimney. I'd love to get a winnerwell stove. Good video thanks for sharing. Oh a small dab of high temp rtv silicone would keep your glass from rattling or falling out.

I was thinking about the stoves you have made while I was testing this one. My thought is how would Lonnie address the shortcomings. Your comment regarding the spark arrester is worth looking at. I had considered using screening of some type to reduce the hole size as I do feel there is a risk of embers flying out. This would likely exaggerate the issue so another solution is needed. The only thing I can think of at this point is something with a larger diameter. Your suggestions would be most welcome.

@@MarkYoungBushcraft My favorite setup for spark arrestor so far is simply ¼ inch mesh hardware cloth. Start out with a flat sheet of it that is perhaps about 14-16 inches in length. How wide it is will depend on the stove pipe diameter. Fold it in half from one side. Now take the cut edges which should now be laying together on one side and fold them over together about an inch or inch and a half or so. Then fold it over again about the same amount. Now you should have a cylinder shape if you spread the two halves apart. Both ends should be open at this point. This cylinder should have ended up with a size that will just slip over your stove pipe end. So now you can see how wide you need to have cut the original width of your sheet. You may have been able to just wrap the sheet around the pipe to start with to measure the pipe diameter and then add perhaps 3-4 inches so as to allow for the folds. To finish up, you need to fold over one end a couple times the same as you did on the side. You may want to cut away the side fold for the distance that you will fold the top so that you don't need to go through the extra effort of folding down the side fold as well as you are folding down the top. To use it you just expand the flat hardware cloth into it's cylinder shape and slip it over the top end of your pipe. You could use a hose clamp if desired but if sized correctly it should friction fit fairly well. The reason I like this style so well is because as the arrestor carbons up, it's high enough that the smoke will just move up higher and go out until that section carbons up and then it'll move up higher. It is also easy to remove and clean when that become necessary. The stove was smoking quite badly in the video. I think though that if you remove that top section of pipe with the arrestor, the stove may smoke less. If you also elevate the back of the stove slightly higher than the front like perhaps an inch or so, the smoke will flow to the back of the stove easier as well. If you find that the present spark arrestor is already hampering flue flow, you can just cut off that section of that pipe or cut out the top of that section to allow free flow of exhaust gasses. Hope my descriptions made sense.

I think how, if, and when smoke leaks out of the stove will be different when you put it in a tent. You have the same wind flowing over the top of stovepipes as around the stove, that is not the case in a tent. The changes in the airflow around the stove can change air pressure and result in some of the smoke leaking out there instead of the stove pipe. There is clearly some wind there if you look at how the smoke travels. I would try to set up some windbreak if more tests are done outside a tent because that will be close to tent usage where you should only have a wind around the top of the stove pipe, not around the stove.

@@MarkYoungBushcraft Yeah, that thought crossed my mind too as I have access to welding equipment and have welded before, but I've often thought about adding a wok to my cook kit arsenal. I've been thinking I could rig something up using that center hole in the plate. Chamfer that hole so that a flat top machine screw sits flush and then fasten some fingers or better still, I have some heavy gauge sheet metal on hand and I could cut a disc larger than the hole and then bolt it on the underside.. That should lock the plate in place sufficiently and seal up a potential smoke leak, but allow me to remove the add on if I do get a wok and want to use the stove for wok cooking. I bought the stove two years ago along with a pop up ice fishing house that I thought could serve double duty for ice fishing and hot tent camping. All I would have to do is replace one of the windows with a stove jack. I believe the windows are attached with Velcro so I could peel a window off, add a stove jack with Velcro strips and set up my stove. One of those projects I'll get to now that I'm retired. ;-)

I don't really do hot tenting any more. Too much gear to haul into the bush, and you really should not have the stove running while sleeping anyways (or bring a carbon monoxide detector), so I bring a hilleberg red or black tent for winter, which is much lighter. Anyways to get the most effect in winter in Canada, I suggest bringing floor insulation (with a cutout for the stove to sit on snow or ground if you dig down), and a footprint, as most of the cold will be coming up through the ground. Cots are also usually a good idea, or a good pad and some reflectix insulation under it. If you want to try it really cheaply it is not very difficult to fashion a home made tipi hot tent, just make sure to use a stove jack. There is a fellow on youtube from Alaska that has a good tutorial for doing that (channel starts with Far North). Seek Outside offers a good lightweight setup for a reasonable amount of money, Pomoly is also pretty decent too, Savotta makes good gear (i really liked their roll chimney), then there is the ultimate hot tent Russian Bear or RBM, which is practically a home. Cheers! PS You should not need to guy the chimney as the stove jack of the hot tent should fit it well and hold it in place.

That top piece of stove pipe with the cap and the holes--looks like it would hinder the draught. If it had a section on top of double the diameter with expanded metal screening--I believe that would draw better. Having the gas expand at the top, instead of being restricted, would produce a good negative pressure. I'm contemplating a Sand Battery to heat my Ford Transit Connect camper conversion. Something on the line of a Kelly Kettle filled with sand that can be fired up outside until the sand is good and hot, then brought in for the night. It has been successfully tried by someone on KZfaq, though I can't help wondering if the metal of a Kettle is a bit thin for really getting it hot. What do you think? I know you have one. Might be more appropriate for a smaller tent than a stove would be. Would need to be suspended off the ground, of course.

I have been hearing about sand batteries and have watched a few videos on them. I have not given enough consideration to them yet. I know that many old school inhouse fireplaces used thermal mass (lots of stone) to capture the heat that would release slowly over the night. I would be more interested if I could se that the sand battery would release enough heat to be worthwhile and if the energy in would justify the energy out. Worth more consideration.

Mark, I gotta say one of the very few small criticisms I have of your channel is that sometimes you’re a little too nice. Not your fault, you were born out east. 🙂 Nothing but pop rivets…..ughhhh, I hate pop rivets, and worse, screws and nuts, and I’ll bet no lock washers! Cheap cheap cheap, yet it isn’t that cheap. $170 US isn’t nothing. Even those legs, when I first saw them, I thought "wow, great, they splay out nice and far for stability" but they’re garbage. From what I see, it’s a nice box with junk stuck on it. Even the label. I mean who would go to the effort of costing it, then attach, with yet more pop rivets, a label that burns? The only good thing is it isn’t one of those folding stoves, because they have all those hinges and things so it’s impossible to shut the air flow down. Good air flow is great when you’re heating up the place, but you need to be able to greatly reduce it when you go to bed. Of course it needs balance between input and output so it doesn’t just smoke you out. Sorry about being harsh, but I think this is a bad product. Even if the rivets are solid, the thin steel will give out around them, and the nuts and bolts will loosen.

I will take that as a compliment Jim. I wanted to come across as being honest about my concerns with the stove but stopped short of being overly judgmental. In truth, the company went cheap on the construction but until the areas of concern fail they deserve a chance. I am okay with cheap construction as long as buyers know what they are getting into and the price reflects its value. I would be more critical if I felt the design was dangerous but, there again, I have concerns but only time will tell how it works out. Thanks for commenting

Exhaust fuel is slip jointed upside down,creosote will flow out of it making your tent a wick, metal is to thin not to be reinforced with heavier gauge angle,spare arrest is a joke on it, pop rivets will loose center core in no time, I will stop there, by the time you fix those items you could have bought a real time tested, quality stove from several manufacturers in USA/Sweden/Norway/Finland. If you really put that in a tent, sleep next to an untied/ unzipped door so you can roll out fast while suffering from smoke and on fire.
