Click Wall Tent Stoves for pictures and info on the 35 wall tent stoves and pack stoves by Cylinder Stoves, Four Dog Stove, Kni-Co Stove, Kwik Kamp Stove, Riley Stove, Mountaineer Stove, Titanium Stove, and Sims Stove. I have a stove or pack stove that will meet your budget and requirement. Tent stove and pack stove prices start at $105.00.

  1. Kni-Co stoves have a lifetime guarantee on manufacturer defect and workmanship.
  2. Sheepherder stove is also commonly known as a Kni-Co stove.
  3. Kni-Co Stove Packer and Alaskan stoves shown above. Alaskan Stove is on left side.

  5. Stove standard package includes stove , stove pipe, damper, spark arrestor
  6. Stove pipe, water tank, shelf, damper and sleeve fit into the Alaskan Stove firebox. However, Kni -Co water tank won't fit inside the Packer Stove firebox.
  7. Alaskan and Packer stoves both made from 22 gauge cold rolled steel to reduce/resist warpage.
  8. Nesting stove pipe, 77" long, 4 pieces, larger stove pipe piece fits into next smaller stove pipe piece.
  9. Stove pipe opening is 5" at stove. 4 3/4" stove pipe size going through the tent roof, and 4" at top of pipe.
  10. Door air intake shield helps prevents sparks popping out the air intake holes.
  11. Packer and Alaskan wall tent stoves are lightweight and reliable stoves.
  12. Side shelf will fit either side.
  13. Fold up sturdy legs.
  14. Stack Robber/Improved spark arrestor is the best spark arrestor available. The spark arrestor/stack robber normally fits directly after the first pipe section. Spark arrestor screen slides into the stack robber. Removal and cleaning is very easy. A spark arrestor on the top of the smoke stack becomes clogged easily and is difficult to take down and clean. The improved spark arrestor allows you to clean the spark arrestor much easier and more often. Stack Robber is an option and not part of the package.
  15. Recommendation: Buy the Alaskan for additional heating capability if you are trying to decide between the Alaskan and Packer. The Alaskan is 50% larger than the Packer and only costs $20.00 extra.

RECOMMENDATIONS/INFORMATION:

  • If you are going to camp in very cold weather - consider purchasing a stove that is one size larger than the stove designed for your size of tent. The one size larger stove will ensure that you stay warmer in very cold or wet conditions. Additionally, you will need a very warm tent to dry out wet boots and clothes.
  • Stove Heating Duration vs Tent Heating Capacity: To me, how long the fire burns at night is more important than the stove tent size heating capability. I need a stove large enough to burn all night to thoroughly dry my boots, rain gear and clothes during hunting season.
  • Lightweight Stoves. Put 1 " of dirt or sand in the bottom of lightweight stoves. The thin metal in lightweight stoves significantly increases the possibility of a burn out. remembe, th hottest place in a burning stove is at the bottom of the stove where the coals are at.
  • STOVE AREA REQUIREMENTS IN A TENT: You must plan on a stove taking up to 7 feet along a wall in your tent. There is an automatic 2 + feet standoff from the front wall due to the stove jack location. The stove itself is normally around 2 feet in length. There is normally a 3 feet heat standoff distance from the stove before you can place a cot or table.
  • STOVE PIPE ABOVE RIDGE OF TENT: It is best to have your stove pipe long enough to extend 6 inches or more above the tent ridge. Having the stove pipe above the tent ridge allows the wind coming from any direction to blow sparks away the tent roof thus reducing the possibilty of spark holes being burnt in the roof.

    FIRE TREATED CANVAS VS STOVE SPARKS: Stove sparks will even burn holes in a fire treated roof. A spark arrestor will prevent most sparks from reaching your roof. However, the only 100 per cent method to prevent spark holes in a tent roof is to use a fly to protect the roof.

    STACK ROBBER: The major advantage of a stack robber over a spark arrestor is ease of cleaning. The stack robber fits just above the stove and has a wire mesh that acts as a spark arrestor which can easily be removed and cleaned.

  • Tent stove manufacturers put very long burn times and exagerated tent heating capacities for their stove models. Carefully review the stove characteristics of each stove you are considering, most importantly stove dimensions. To effectively compare each stoves heating capability/size of the firebox multiply the stoves width x length x height to determine the total cubic inches of the firebox. Deduct 15% of the total firebox cubic inches if the stove is round or octagon. The size of the firebox determines the heating capabiity of the different stoves you are considering. It should be noted that stoves with airtight doors and baffles significantly increases a stoves heating efficency. If you are in a climate with very cold conditions you might want to consider moving up one stove size above the manufacturers tent size heating recommendation.

    HEAT SAFETY DISTANCE: Always have at least a 2 foot area around your stove where there are no flammables. Also, sometimes sparks might pop out of the stove air intake openings if there is not a screen covering the openings. Be careful when opening the stove door as sometimes a spark will pop toward you or a small piece of wood might fall out of the stove.

    CURING THE PAINT ON A NEW WOOD STOVE: Set your new stove up in your backyard or driveway and burn wood in the stove for 1-2 hour to cure the paint. Burning wood in your new stove will cause a burning smell. You will have this burning smell on your hunting clothes if you do not cure the stove at home before hunting season.

    PURCHASE A DAMPER: A damper in a stove does not allow the heat to escape quickly up the stove pipe which increases the stove heating capacity 10-15%.

    SPARK ARRESTOR : When properly used this device reduces the amount of sparks coming out of the stove pipe. Check spark arrestor daily to inure there is no buildup of creosote blocking the smoke from going through the spark arestor.

    TO AVOID SMOKE IN YOUR TENT: (1) Completely open the damper before opening the stove door (2) Open the stove door slowly so as not to draw the smoke through the door and into the tent.

  • STOVE EFFICIENCY: It is best to use dry hardwoods. Standing dead trees are usually the driest wood available. However, never cut down a dead tree by yourself. Cut down dead trees at you own risk as it is very dangerous. Always have a spotter watching the top ot the tree . Sometimes when a dead tree is about to fall it causes the top 5-10 feet of the tree to break off and can fall on top of you. The result will be a major accident or death.

    CREOSOTE BUILD UP: You will increase creosote build up the more you damper down the stove and /or reduce the air intake openings. Creosote will build up in the stove pipe and clog the spark arrestor. Warning: If you build up too much creosote in your pipe - the stove heat can cause the creosote in your stove pipe to burn and you will have flames shooting out the end of your stove pipe. A plugged spark arrestor reduces the efficiency of your stove and will also cause more smoke to come into your tent when you open the stove door. To clean the stove pipes after finishing your hunting it is recommended to gently bang the different sections of the stove pipe together to loosen the creosote.
