This is an old Voyager tent that was made for the Boy Scouts. I removed the floor and the screen. The framework was overkill, but I wanted to give it a try. It worked well.

This is the stove jack I installed. It is made for a 5 Man Arctic Tent.

The stove is made from an 8" piece of black stove pipe. The ends are 8" end caps. All of the rivets are steel. The door was made from a piece of left over stove pipe.

This is not the best picture, but you can see the hole in the end where the 4" stove pipe fits. You can also see the bolts that are used for the legs.

I took a hammer and flattened the top of the stove so you can cook on it.
It was able to boil water.

Rescue2 came out and gave me a hand.

All in all it is going to be a very nice set up. I and going to spend the bulk of my winter camping in this tent this year. I will follow up with field reports in the future. Thanks for checking it out.
