Homemade Stove and Old Tent

[IA Woodsman]

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.

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.

Very nice! I wouldn't mind trying this myself, when I get a few free days. Have you done any overnighters in it yet?

Good job! Looks just like on I built about 2 years ago, People make these out of everything from old cooking pots to mailboxes.
Remember to not try burning it through the night, you might not wake up!

Just start it up before you get out of your bag to get dressed in the morning.
Lot's of good info about it if anyone wants to give it a go.
