When considering the tent wood stoves for use in a canvas tent there are several critical factors to consider. Safety, efficiency, and suitability for your camping needs are critical. Here are the most important factors:
1. Size and Heating Capacity: Ensure that the wood stove for your tent is appropriately sized for your canvas tent. Consider the stove's heating capacity to make sure it can provide sufficient warmth for the size of tent in all expected possible weather conditions.
2. Weight and Portability: If you plan on moving your canvas tent frequently, consider lightweight and portable tent stoves. All stove models should be designed for camping and can be disassembled for easy transport.
3. Ventilation: Proper ventilation is crucial when using a stove in an enclosed space. Any tent you purchase must have a stove jack for the stovepipe. The tent stove jack must be suited for the canvas tent wood stove purchased.
4. Material and Build Quality: Choose a canvas tent stove made from durable and heat resistant materials. High-quality steel stove is a common choice. A well built heavier stove will last longer and provide better performance.
5. Safety Features: Look for safety features such as spark arrestors to prevent sparks from escaping and stable legs to prevent tipping for safe operation. A stove must also have built-in dampers for better control of airflow.
6. Ease of Assembly and Use: Consider how easy the canvas tent stove is to assemble and use. Look for models with simple designs that are quick to set up, especially if you'll be camping in cold weather.
7. Cooking Functionality: If you plan to cook on the wall tent stove, choose a model with a flat surface or a cooking grate. Some stoves have ovens as an option.
8. Compatibility with Tent: Ensure the stove is compatible with your canvas tent. Some tents are designed with stove jacks or sleeves to accommodate stove pipes.
9. Cost: Consider your budget when selecting a canvas tent stove. Prices can vary based on the stove's size, material and additional features.
Taking the time to carefully assess these factors will help you choose a wall tent stove that suits your camping needs while ensuring safety and efficiency in a canvas tent environment.
DO NOT BELIEVE ANY MANUFACTURER LISTED STOVE TENT BURN TIMES.
STOVE COMPANIES GREATLY EXAGGERATE CANVAS TENT STOVE BURN TIMES UP TO 50-100%.
To compare burn times between tent wood stove models you must compare the size of stove firebox in cubic feet and if the stove has a door gasket. The more wood you can put in a stove the longer the tent wood stove will burn.
A tent stove must have a DOOR GASKET TO BE AIR TIGHT. A door gasket (airtight stove) allows you to control the rate of burn better. Some companies claim their stoves are airtight without having a door gasket. With no gasket a wall tent stove is not airtight.
Bottom line: The tent wood stove with a door gasket and with the largest fire box will provide the most heat and have the longest burning time regardless of what a salesman states.
The Wilderness and Camp are the best tent stoves and have the longest stove tent burn times. Both will burn longer than any other model. Both have the largest fire boxes available measured by cubic feet and have a gasket on the door.

Tent stoves are a crucial component of cold-weather camping setups, providing warmth, a means of cooking and often serving as the focal point of social interaction within the tent. Here's a detailed explanation of hot tent stoves:
Components of a Tent Stove:
1. Firebox:
2. Chimney:
3. Stovepipe Sections:
4. Dampers:
5. Spark Arrestor:
6. Legs or stands:
Types of Tent Stoves:
1. Traditional Tent Wood Stoves:
2. Portable Backpacking Tent Stoves:
3. Stoves with Cooking Surfaces:
Cooking on top of a tent wood stove can be a convenient and enjoyable experience. Especially when camping in cold weather. However, there are several factors and considerations you should keep in mind to ensure safety and efficiency:
Practice Cooking at Home: Regardless of which tent wood stove you purchase it is important to practice at home. Start on something simple and then progress.
Find the Hot Spot: The tent stove temperature on the stove top varies. Close to the stove pipe is normally the best location for cooking. Where there is a large build up of coals inside the fire box is another good location for cooking. Remember, most of the heat making the stove top hot is from hot coals, not the flames. Use a thermometer to check temperatures at different stove top locations.
Quality of Firewood: Always try to use dry hard wood. Wood that is not dry will smoke and not emit much heat. Soft woods will burn quickly and are not efficient. If you are cutting down dead trees be very careful and always have a spotter. Every year people get killed as the top of the dead tree can easily break off, known as the widow maker. The widow maker kills people every year, Rich.
Controlling Temperature of Stove Top: Temperature on top of stove depends on how much wood is in the stove and how much air intake is open allowing air into the stove. It will take time to learn how much wood is required and the proper air intake adjustment to cook different meals.
Preheat Stove: Preheat stove before starting cooking. It is best to have a thermometer to check stove top temperature. Make adjustment in air intake to adjust to desired temperature.
Cooking Times Will be Longer than at Home: Be patient. Cooking on tent wood stoves will take longer and require more expertise than cooking on electric or gas stoves.
Cooking on top of tent stove without Pots or Pans: Some campers like to cook on the stove top. The stove top has a much larger cooking surface. The stove top will have different temperatures so plan accordingly. A draw back of cooking on the stove top will be additional odors and smells in your tent. Cooking involves some type of cooking oil on top of the stove which cannot be avoided. Additionally, after stove top use the top must be cleaned. There will be a continuing odor as the cooking oil and food cooked remnants will continue to smell as long as the tent wood stove burns.
Stove Size and Capacity: Ensure that the stove is large enough to accommodate your cooking needs. Consider the size of your pots and pans and whether they can fit on the stove's surface without the risk of tipping over.
Stability: Make sure the stove is stable and securely set up. An unstable cooking surface can be dangerous, particularly in a confined space like a tent.
Ventilation: Cooking on a wood stove generates heat and gases, and it's crucial to have adequate ventilation to allow these gases to escape.
Fire Safety: Be mindful of fire safety. Keep flammable materials, such as clothing and sleeping bags, away from the stove. Be cautious when adding wood to the stove to avoid sparks.
Cookware Selection: Use cookware that is suitable for tent wood stove cooking. Cast iron and stainless steel are good choices as they can withstand high heat. Avoid non-stick pans, as they may release harmful fumes at high temperatures.
Heat Control: Get accustomed to controlling the heat of the wall tent stove. Unlike a gas stove with instant temperature adjustments, a tent wood stove takes time to respond to changes in airflow and fuel.
Fuel Management: Manage your fuel efficiently. Ensure you have enough firewood or other suitable fuel for cooking. Keep in mind that cooking may require more constant attention to maintain a consistent heat.
Cooking Time: Tent wood stoves take longer to cook food compared to traditional stovetops. Plan accordingly and be patient with the cooking process.
Cleaning: Regularly clean the stove and remove ash buildup. A clean stove operates more efficiently and reduces the risk of fire.
Location of the Stove: Place the stove in a suitable location within the tent. Make sure it is away from walls and other flammable materials. Consider using a stovepipe heat shield if the stove is close to the tent fabric.
Weather Considerations: Be aware of weather conditions. Wind can affect the performance of the stove. Rain or snow may impact your ability to collect dry firewood.
Practice Safety: Familiarize yourself with the stove and its operation before heading out. Practice safe cooking habits and educate everyone in your camping party about stove safety. Always have a fire extinguisher readily available. Always prioritize safety when cooking on a tent wood stove. Following these considerations can help ensure a positive and safe cooking experience during your camping adventures.
The specific elevation at which a tent wood stove is affected can vary depending on factors such as design, combustion efficiency, and the stove's ability to adjust to changes in air pressure. However, in general, noticeable effects on wall tent stoves in terms of combustion and efficiency can start to occur at elevations above 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) above sea level.
Here are some general considerations for different elevation ranges:
1. Low Elevations (Sea Level to 5,000 Feet):
2. Moderate Elevations (5,000 to 8,000 feet):
3. High Elevations (Above 8,000 feet):
4. Very High Elevations (Above 12,000 feet):
Things to Consider When Operating a Wall Tent Wood Stove in Different Elevations:
1. Oxygen Levels:
2. Combustion Efficiency:
3. Boiling Point of Water:
4. Draft and Airflow:
5. Fuel Combustion Rate:
6. Efficiency of Heat Transfer:
Never allow your tent stove to burn red hot. Normally the stove starts becoming red hot at the bottom of the fire box. As soon as you notice any part of your stove burning red hot immediately shut off the air intake on the door. Hopefully, the stove will return to normal color within 5 minutes.
Sometimes theres is so much wood in the tent stove the entire stove will turn red hot. During extreme heat the stove pipe also turns red. There is not much you can do at this time except have a fire extinguisher ready.
You must always monitor and air intake to insure your stove never turns red hot. Normally, a stove only becomes red hot if you have a full stove of wood and the air take is too open.
A tent stove will probably warp when it turns red hot. The wilderness and Yukon tent stoves have metal rods welded inside the stove to help prevent warming if you accidentally allow your stove to become red hot.
1. Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the efficiency of a tent wood stove. Remove as and soot buildup from the firebox, stovepipe, and chimney. A clean wall tent stove operates more efficiently and reduces the risk of chimney fires.
2. Chimney Inspection and Cleaning: Check the stove pipe for any creosote buildup. Creosote is a byproduct of wood combustion and can lead to stove pipe fires if not cleaned regularly. Use a chimney brush to clean the chimney, especially before extended use. A creosote fire looks like a flame thrower and will damage tent stove and tent.
3. Gasket Inspection: Inspect the gaskets around the stove doors and joints. These gaskets create a seal that prevents air leaks, ensuring efficient combustion. Replace any damaged or worn gaskets to maintain a proper seal.
4. Rust Prevention and Treatment: Check the entire canvas tent stove for signs of rust. Remove rust using a wire brush or steel wool, and apply heat-resistant paint to prevent further corrosion. Pay attention to areas that may be more prone to rust, such as the legs and joints.
5. Firebox and Stove Pipe: Inspect the firebox for any cracks or damage. Repair or replace any compromised parts. Ensure that the baffle and other components inside the firebox are in good condition.
6. Dampers and Airflow: Learn how to use the dampers effectively. The primary air intake and the damper on the stovepipe control the airflow and combustion. Adjust them as needed to regulate the temperature inside of your wood stove for tent and improve efficiency. Never allow your stove to burn red hot as your stove will warp.
7. Proper Fuel Selection: Burn only dry and well seasoned wood in your tent stove. Wet or unseasoned wood can lead to incomplete combustion, increased creosote production and reduced stove efficiency. Store wood in a dry place to ensure its ready for use.
8. Installation and Clearance: Maintain proper clearances from combustible materials, both for the tent wood stove inself and the stovepipe. Incorrect installation can pose safety risks and affect the stove's performance.
9. Stovepipe Inspection: Regularly inspect the stovepipe for any damage, leaks, or blockages. Ensure that the connections are secure. If you notice any issues, address them promptly to maintain proper ventilation.
10. Monitor Damper Settings: Learn how to use the damper effectively. Adjust it as needed to control the airflow and temperature inside the tent wood burning stove. This helps in achieving efficient combustion and preventing over-firing.
11. Transport and Storage: If you transport the tent stove frequently, secure all parts properly to prevent damage. When storing the stove, disassemble it if possible and store it in a dry place to prevent rust.
12. Spare Parts and Tools: Keep a set of spare parts and tools for basic repairs. This may include extra gaskets, bolts, and a multi-tool for on-the-go maintenance during camping trips.
13. Temperature Monitoring: Maintain stove temperature to avoid over-firing and burning stove red hot.
By incorporating these detailed maintenance practices into your routine, you can ensure the longevity, efficiency, and safety of your tent wood stove. Regular attention to these aspects will contribute to a reliable and enjoyable camping experience.1. The feeling of returning from a hard day of hunting or exploring to a warm tent stove can be incredibly satisfying and comforting. After spending hours outdoors, perhaps facing challenging weather conditions and exerting physical effort, coming back to the warmth of a tent stove can provide a sense of refuge and relaxation.
2. The chill in the air outside contrasts with the cozy heat emanating from the stove. The flickering flames cast a comforting glow, and the sound of crackling wood creates a soothing ambiance. The warmth not only eases any lingering cold from the hunt but also serves as a focal point for unwinding and sharing stories with fellow hunters.
3. The tent stove becomes a central gathering point, a place to dry damp clothes, cook a hot meal, and bask in the camaraderie of the hunt or just exploring in the woods. There's a primal and elemental satisfaction in tending to the fire, adding fuel to the stove, and feeling the radiant heat envelope you.
4. In these moments, the tent stove becomes more than a source of warmth; it becomes a symbol of survival, comfort, and the shared experience. It's a simple pleasure, yet one that resonates deeply with the primal instincts tied to our connection with nature and the outdoors.
I bought a 16 x 20 canvas tent and wilderness 4 tent stove 12 years ago. Great wall tent. Many hunting trips and no problems. Had rough weather at times. Snow and rain and a lot of high winds. It seems that the November hunt is getting colder. Or, I am just getting older. I want to buy a wilderness 5 stove to insure I stay warm during the extreme weather. Thanks again for a great canvas tent and tent stove. Cameron.
I used my new tent and stove during Montana's general hunting season. Both the tent and stove were awesome. I was so impressed. Snowed and rained during most of the hunting trip. We stayed totally dry inside the tent. The fly really shed the water quickly and the snow slid off the fly with just just several pushes inside on the roof. My family and I are looking forward to many great years of hunting and camping with this tent. Thanks so much, Ryan.
If you contact us, recommended wood burning tent stove size for specific tent size is based on my 50+ years experience with stoves in tents.
A larger and heavier wall tent stove is more appropriate for base camps and tent camping near a road. These heavier camping wood stoves are much more durable (1/8" steel) than the a lightweight wall tent stove.
Riley Stoves have many lightweight tent wood stove models that will meet heating requirements in any tent size.
Riley Stoves also have 3 pellet burning stove models. These pellet tent stoves do not require electricity to operate.
