How do you keep the air from blowing in between the bottom of the tent and the floor? Is there a way to seal between the tent and the floor?
@supernurse43Ай бұрын

@OutdoorsMyLifeАй бұрын
You can never seal it completely, but when using a wood stove you need some air coming into your tent anyway.

Hi. Great vid and great stove. I was given one of these stoves only a couple of weeks ago. It’s great, but I noticed on lighting it, that air was getting in around the front door glass and controlling the air flow was a little tricky just using the bottom smaller door. I took the glass out and stuck some real flat stove ribbon onto it. I also added some to the inside of the larger door and doing this made a far better seal. The air control then was a lot more ‘controlled’. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧😉
@OutdoorsMyLife2 ай бұрын
Yeah the door is not air tight but I don't see that as much of a problem since you always need some air getting in or the fire goes out. Might be a problem if you need a small amount of heat in warmer temps but I live in Canada so it is almost always cold when I use it.

It’s not necessary but if you have to get an inspection done you may need to go that way. If you are building a deck on your property in the woods using nails will work just fine
