Essentials for Tent Stoves
If the tent is not of heat-resistant fabric, heating with a fire base should not be used.
Use the stove only for its purpose. Do not dry things on it. And check in the manual if there is a function for simultaneous space heating and cooking. If not, take it out of the tent. And when the cooking is finished, heat the tent.
A spark arrester in the chimney will prevent accidental fires. If there is no spark arrestor in the design, you should install the flue pipe so that it does not go through the roof of the tent (vertically), but through any of its walls (horizontally). In addition, a horizontal pipe noticeably improves the heating of the air inside the shelter. This approach is especially relevant on frosty days, when every degree of precious heat counts.
Sleep away from the stove, even if you want to get warmer. It is necessary in order not to accidentally knock the device over while you are sleeping.
If you did not have a very reliable construction or made it with your own hands, and it turned out too flimsy, do not heat the tent. It is better to put a tent stove at a sufficient distance and keep warm in the evening, and before going to sleep or leaving, switch it off.
Don't use the stove as a light, take an electric flashlight with you just in case.
Don't melt wood with kindling, gasoline or other liquids.
Ventilate the space so you don't get carbon monoxide poisoning.
Gloves
Gloves protect you against burns and ensure safe operation of the stove. They also allow you to monitor the operation of the stove with maximum comfort and safety.
Always keep a glove and pike pole nearby. The pole will help you move the burning logs, and you can use the glove to open or close the firebox door. Under no circumstances reach into the firebox with the burning wood with your hand, even if it is protected with a glove. Use only pole.
Fire extinguisher
Fire extinguisher is an essential element whenever a wood stove is used. Of course, it is advisable to have primary fire extinguishing equipment such as fire extinguisher, axe, burlap, pike pole, shovel, box with sand, bucket, and a container with water as well as the first aid kit with medicines for providing some first aid to victims of fires and poisoning (dressing material, ammonia alcohol.
Fireproof stove mat
A fireproof stove mat is used to protect the hot tent floor from heat and falling sparks. Such a mat is made of glass fabric with a silicone coating and has a working temperature range from -50 ° C to +280 ° C, and can withstand an open flame for a short time.
Silicone-coated glass fabric is used in the manufacture of fireproof barriers, welding partitions, thermal curtains, thermal covers, flexible joints, thermal gaskets, expansion joints, and protective overalls. This material is widely used when it is necessary to create a fireproof insulation layer resistant to high temperatures and aggressive environments, abrasion and moisture ingress.
In winter, wood burning tent stoves without a bottom screen often require additional support under the fireproof mat, which weighs much more than the bottom screen of the furnace.
In addition, accessories such as a scoop and bucket for cleaning up ashes, a pike pole for raking coals and turning firewood, and a broomstick for conveniently sweeping away burnt particles can be used to ensure proper safety when using a wood-burning stove. These stove accessories do not melt when exposed to high temperatures and do not break.
