Winter Tarp with stove ?

**G.L.P.** · 07-23-2010, 20:39

i was thinking maybe just get the stove....and make a lean-to shelter...and
put the stove in the lean-to....and cover the other side with a tarp...this would work...it would be more work..but it's cheaper

You can only take so much clothes off. I welcome the winter...

Its gonna be real hard to make the rig you're talking about light which is what I think everybody's conclusions were. But then again, if its that cold out, it is likey to be snow covered... so a slead would be totally feasible to pull a heavier tent around...

Ya that was my thought of using a pulk sled I got away from packing and heavy and went light weight not Ultralight gram weenie but light weight

Question for the knowledgable on this matter..............What if you were to sew in a patch of Reflectix where the chimney from the stove exited the tarp????? At this same point wrap the stove pipe with reflectix!!! This is just a suggestion and will require testing, double insulation at the exit point.

Now that this post has been read, pleeeaaasssseeee disregard!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fiberglass is the preferred material for a stove jack.

That, or silicone.

Reflectix is just blinged out bubble wrap...it would melt pretty quickly, I'm thinking.

Hopefully Smokehouse will chime in soon (he's very very busy right now and doesn't log on to the forum as often); but I had a chance to look at his tarp this past spring.

His is a homemade tarp and he used a kit for the wood-burning stove. Its really important that you vent the stove and its also important that the stove pipe not contact the silnylon or very bad things are gonna happen! As I recall, the stove kit came with some fiberglass based fabric that was sewn into the tarp. Look at his photo gallery and you'll see several good photos of his setup.

YOU MUST USE A HIGH TEMP FIBERGLASS OR SILCONE FOR STOVE PIPE INSERT OR YOU WILL HAVE FALIURE !!
Some thoughts on using a wood stove in a cloth shelter from some one who has made stoves for that applaction.

COMMERCAIL INSERTS ARE AVIABLE IN 3"-4"-4 1/2"-5"-6" PIPE SIZES

WITH STOVE PIPE CENTERD IT SHOULD BE MINUIM OF 16" x 16" OF THAT FABRIC.

YOU CAN NOT BE TO SAFE WHEN USING FIRE IN A CLOTH STRUCTURE.

NEVER HAVE ANY COMBUSTABLE MATERIAL CLOSER THEN 18" TO STOVE.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR STOVE PIPE AND TARP ARE SECURE. SO IT WILL
NOT COME APART IN THE WIND OR IF BUMPED.

THINK SAFTY !!!!
