[QUOTE="chimpac, post: 289642, member: 18381"] I have been trying different ideas for stoves and tents. The following is my latest. The same design works for stand up shelters. [IMG]http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv297/chimpac/3.jpg[/IMG] 8'x15' nylon tarp [IMG]http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv297/chimpac/smallchimney002.jpg[/IMG] 5'' stove, 40'' tapered chimney, 2 part stove jack on floor, weighs 2lbs. [IMG]http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/picture.php?albumid=186&pictureid=417[/IMG] 6'' stove lying on side, left; baffle seen thru feed door. right;bottom draft door and grate, attached heat shield/ash catcher The baffle; stops the sparks so no spark arrestor is needed, makes cooking surface is the hottest part of the stove, controls the fire for a slow hot burn. tapered chimney sections use a sleeve butt joint to bear weight as the center pole. A water boiler can be put on the top of the chimney outside. The tipi syle is popular. I prefer a roof as low as possible with no vents in the top 1/3 of the tent to keep a layer of hot air above, radiating down. I do not like a floor in a tent because the bare ground or snow always needs fixing to sleep on. Mosquitos are hard to keep out with screens on doors that are opening and closing, so I let the stove smoke inside a bit to make them leave. I like to sleep under the tarp in a bivy or covered with a net. A tarp with a chimney/stove makes a true 4 season allweather tent, a shade in summer or nailed down tight in a winter blizzard. Google chimpac or centerpole chimney for arguments on other forums . [/QUOTE]
