WHAT IS A HOT TENT WITH A STOVE JACK?

The jack for a tent with wood stove is a reinforced opening or sleeve in a tent designed to accommodate a stovepipe from a portable camping stove or heater. This allows campers to use a hot tent stove inside their tent, providing warmth during cold-weather camping. The stove jack is typically made of fire-resistant material to prevent the tent fabric from melting or catching fire.

The stove pipe will be very hot when it passes through the stove jack opening going through the tent roof. Most fires in a tent are due to the hot tent stove or a hot tent with stove jack issues. Below are some factors in evaluating winter tent stove jacks.

3. Size and Fit: Ensure that the stove jack is appropriately sized for the stove pipe of your hot tent wood stove. It should not be snug or tight. If too snug, every time the wind blows, your stove pipe will move because the roof billows in the wind. Eventually, your pipe sections will work loose and might catch the roof on fire.
4. STOVE JACK FLAP: Stove jack flap covers the stove jack opening when the stove is not in use. When operating the stove, the hot tent stove jack must be securely tied back to prevent the flap from touching the hot stove pipe. Many tent fires are a result of not tying down the stove jack flap properly.
