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!

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!

Thank you for the information on safety and hot tenting God Bless you

Excellent video about time someone pointed out the dangers to watch out for when hot tenting many thanks and keep up the good work.

This is by far the most informative video on the subject of hot tenting. You have a great talent for this!

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.

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.

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.

Thanks, great focused presentation. Your points were very specific and you supported them with logic and experience.

A very educational video! Thank you, this is very good for someone like me who never have experienced a hot 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!

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.

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.

Thanks for the detail, important in a video on safety.

Just watched the series as im about to get into hot tenting down here in Australia. so full of valuable info, thank you for making these videos !

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.

Thankyou for all your information and training! I'm learning!

Amazing video. Learned a lot. Definitely getting an extension for my pipe.

Recently bought hot tent and stove-thank you for your valuable information! I learned a lot.

Thanks for all of the info and advice 👍👍😎

Awesome and very helpful tips! Thanks brother!

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.

Yet another excellent review. Thanks for educating us thoroughly.....Really appreciative.

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.

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!

I'm just waiting for my hot tent and stove to be delivered today. Some great information there I wouldn't have thought of. 👍

I am a new beginner in hot tent, this was verry usefull information. Big thanks from Sweden! Erik

My first hot tent trip next weekend. Everything you shared will help a lot. Thanks so much.

Appreciate the tips. I'm on my 4th hot tent camp trip.

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.

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.

Got my first hit tent and stove! Doing the maiden backyard camp out with my little one. We’re both pretty excited.

Great video. I appreciate you covering the safety aspects especially for someone interested in hot tenting.

Thank you.

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.

Good advice. Came here to see if there was a recommended gap for stove pipe and learned some other things. Thanks mate.

Excellent advice and video .

Very useful for me as a total newby on this topic. At least a few concerns and questions has been erased here :) thanks for that!

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.

Thanks. Knowledge is power 🙏

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. 🤠🐩🖖✝️👍

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.

Great info!!! Just ordered my first hot tent and stove. I’ve learned a bunch…Thanks👍👍

Thank you for this information!

Woth it . Top form . Glad I watched it . Thanks for the responsible effort .

Really enjoy these video

Excellent presentation, thank you for your efforts, your information is very valuable, lesson learned!

I've been waiting for this one!!

excellent safety advice.

Great information in this video. Thank you so much.

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.

You're a very good instructor, good video and thank you

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 KZfaq 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! 💪❤️🏕️

good info. Good Idea with the stones. Knowledgeable comment on exploding stones. Like.

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!

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!

Really enjoyed your safety talk on hot tents. Very informative . Thank you for your knowledge.

This is a must see who loves hot tenting! Its a safety and also avoiding damaging your investment

Thanks!

Great info, Thanks !

Invaluable information thank you sir! Happy trails

Very informative!

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!

Just bought a pomoly hot tent and stove. Let’s goooo

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 👍👍👍

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!

Learned a lot .very imforment.

Good video- appreciate your info

Great video as always, thanks for the information!

I use the rule of 12 as well. I hate walking around and bumping into things at waist level.

Yep, I tried a small square of window screen for a spark arrester. It clogs quickly.

Thanks for a really helpful video a great summary off tips.

Great info Bro 👍 thanks for sharing and keep up the great work ✌️😎

Great information. Thanks

Another great video my friend very well explained

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!

Thanks for all the tips .

very informative and useful. I wanna begin hot tenting, so this video was really worth watching . thanks much!!

That was a lot of good information presented very well, thank you.
