The beauty of that stove is its simplicity, all few parts fit perfectly together. I've never seen a stove like that, the stand is awesome, the stovetop a work of functionality.

When you get time, get some exhaust assembly paste & apply it to the mating surfaces of all your chimney joints, just so it’s 100% gas tight. I know you have a lot of air flow through the tent but if you can avoid any carbon monoxide leaks then all the better. I couldn’t tell if the stove was vented straight out to the chimney or if it has a baffle plate ? I purchased a wicked cooking pan this week Jay, it’s called a Ridgemonkey toaster pan, it’s awesome to cook toasted sandwiches with & other stuff. Have a search for one.

Hey Jay awesome video again. When you rode up on your sled I said to myself I want that coat as it looked like a big sweat shirt and I love your new stove as I have always wanted to add on to the house and put up a 4 seasons room and put a stove in and pretend like I was roughing it but still get the benefits of a stove and wood burner. My dad got his greatgrama stove that she cooked on and heated the house and he always wanted it when she passed away and about 45-50 years ago when I was still living at home we went to Iowa where I'm living now and he and I and a couple others loaded it up in a U-Haul trailer and hauled it to Cleveland Ohio and he took that thing apart and cleaned from top to bottom and even had parts rechromed and it looks awesome and he used it as a bar and and had some flowers on it but it looked like he bought it off the showroom floor as it looks brand new but my dad passed away 5 years in August and when my step mom passes away that is one thing I want of my dad's no matter how much it costs to get it here.in Iowa. Plus when I was in high school we would go down in the park system and grill breakfast and dinner over a campfire and stayed warm even in the deadest of winter and a friend of my brothers family would go also and we always had fun plus I was used to it as I was in scouting from around 10 years old till I was around 16 and I went camping every month maybe 2 weekends a month and my very first campout in a tent was in a Army tent for 3-4 and we would throw a bale of straw down to cover the ground. Boy do I miss those days as a kid. But love your videos and I was wondering if I could get some information on the lady that made your coat how big does she go, does she have a website ? Can't wait for your next video. With the new stove you can throw whole logs in instead of cutting wood up.
