Always use the included spark arrester. When properly used this device reduces the amount of sparks coming
out of the stove pipe. Check spark arrestor daily to insure there is no buildup of creosote blocking the smoke from
going through the spark arrestor. The spark arrestor must be cleaned every 2-3 days to prevent clogging and
reduce the risk of a chimney re. Stove sparks will burn holes in a re treated roof. Stove sparks will burn holes in a
re treated roof. A spark arrestor will prevent most sparks from reaching your roof. The use of a rain y with properly
tted stove jack will also help prevent damage to your tent. To reduce smoke in your tent always open the stove
door slowly with the damper wide open. If you open the stove door quickly the smoke is drawn into the tent. The
more you damper the stove pipe down or/and reduce the air intake on the stove door the more creosote build up
you will have in the stove pipe and spark arrestor. If you get too much creosote in the stove pipe you can possibly
have a re in your stove pipe. When breaking camp, remove the creosote in your stove pipe by gently banging
the stove pipes together to loosen the creosote. It is normal to periodically clean the spark arrestor every 2-3 days. To reduce
smoke in your tent always open the stove door slowly with the damper wide open. If you open the stove door quickly the
smoke is drawn into the tent.
WOOD FOR STOVES
Dry hardwoods burn the most efciently and provide the most heat. If you use soft woods you will have to cut much more
rewood and you will have more creosote buildup.
CAMPING IN WINDY CONDITIONS
If using the stove in windy conditions, secure all sections of stove pipe at the joints and where the pipe attaches to the stove
with pipe clamps (not included). Windy conditions will cause the stove pipe to loosen when the tent roof billows in the wind.
Also stake down the front and back of your tent with the grommet on each end of your ridge to reduce movement of the
tent.
5. Installing the chimney pipe - Install the spark arrestor over the top of one of the
pipes. Secure the spark arrestor to the pipe by tightening down the #10AB X 1/2
screw. Then install this pipe into the wide end of the next and so on until all six
pipes are assembled together. If using the stove in windy conditions pipe clamps
should be used to secure the pipes together (pipe clamps not included). Once
the chimney is assembled lift the chimney up through the stove jack in the tent
and then install into the top of the stove. Note: Depending on stove jack size some
chimney sections may need to be installed down through the stove jack from the
outside of the tent.
CURING THE PAINT
Set your new stove up in your backyard or driveway and burn wood in the stove for 1-2 hour to cure the paint.
The damper makes your stove 10-15% more efcient reducing the amount of wood you have to cut by 10-15%.
WARNING: Before using the stove the rst time the paint must be properly cured.
WARNING: The stove pipe should extend a minimum of 6” above the ridge of the tent. This allows sparks to blow
away from the tent roof reducing the possibility of spark holes being burnt in the roof.
WARNING: Keep all combustible materials a minimum of 3 feet away from the stove. This prevents any ammables
from catching re due to the stove heat, prevents sparks from popping through the air intake openings and
catching ammables on re and also in case sparks pop out when you open the stove door.
WARNING: Keep the rebox portion of the stove a minimum of 36” (914 mm) away from the walls of the tent.
CLEARANCES
The stove must be placed on a non-combustible surface. The following minimum requirements must apply:
