Winnerwell Stove, Nomad Large Model. Over night Hot tent

My experience with the Winnerwell Nomad large stove. I am new to hot tent camping and was excited to use a wood burning stove. After a sleepless night worrying about burning alive I was determined to troubleshooting the issues and make it better.
This video , hopefully, explains what I found to be the problem. May it help you avoid the same issues as me. Below are links to the product I used to seal the door. These are not affiliate links. I am not selling anything- just providing my experience.

Wow super helpful. I also have no experience with wood stoves and I’ve been eyeing this exact stove for my white duck canvas regatta tent. Thank you for sharing!!

[@gonefishingapodaca]

Thanks for being so honest. I haven’t seen one single negative review like yours. I have a Springbar tent and I would be devastated if it had a hole in it!

Glad you found this helpful. Good luck!

Good Job

[@lamarwilliams185]

Thanks!!! Everybody makes it seem like it’s the best stove. You are the second person on KZbin speaking on its flaws. Online there are a bunch of negative comments. I think it’s still a great product without having to examine for myself. I don’t think it’s for people who are going to use it everyday. Great review!!!!

I just purchased the 12×12 Kodiak tent and been looking at wood stoves versus diesel heater. Im going with the diesel heater just for the reason you mentioned. I would be livid burning holes in my new tent.

Can’t blame you there.

Ive had the same problem with too much airflow...I havent tried the gasket yet but i did buy an 8x8 piece of stainless steel to put over the top of the round accessory door...it seems to reduce air flow pretty good

[@learningCountry]

I wanted to seal that round plate with the gasket putty but my wife said , no we may use that one day lol. But yeah- I knew I was not the only one having airflow issues!

I just had my first trip with the nomad large. I didnt have smoke issues as I didnt adjust the flue. However I found it very difficult to slow down the burn meaning I was up every 2 hours adding to the stove. I think I will add a gasket to the door. Did you still have smoke coming out of the top plate?

[@learningCountry]

I wanted to seal up the top plate but the wife wanted to keep it free. By installing the gasket I can control the rate of the burn and reduce greatly my risk of smoke.

I have this stove and am about to use it for the first time, did you use the 5/8”x 1/8”x 84” gasket? And would that do the job?

[@learningCountry]

I bought 14ft x 5/8in x 1/8in Wood Stove Gasket Tape from Amazon and Rutland Products, Black Rutland Stove Gasket Cement, 2.3-Ounce Tube, Size, 2 Fl Oz from Amazon. Since you have the gasket material already just buy the gasket cement and make a thick bead all around the door and then put your gasket on top, close the door and latch it shut then open it and let it stay open for 12 hours. I had my stove on its back when I did the last part. Let gravity hold the cement and gasket in place.
