You have no idea how much I learn from you. As a single old lady that grew up thinking "roughing it" meant a Hotel with no pool-everything is new to me! My husband tried to get me to camp once when we were young. I burst into tears because I thought he was taking me to woods to kill me. Why else do people go to ewww woods?! Yeah. I blame my upbringing 🤣. Thank you. Seriously. I’m a successful Nomad because of awesome people like you. Take Care. Hug that wonderful wife & keep being an great example to the wee ones.
I don't know that brand is the main thing to look for, it's more about the size and build. Winnerwell could definitely be a good option. If it's a sizeable tent (More than 12 feet in diameter or so), then I'd be looking for a stove that's at least as big as the Winnerwell large size, is at least 18" deep inside, and has at least a 3.5" diameter flue pipe. I prefer stainless steel, but a powder coated option like a Camp Chef could be a little cheaper and do the job. I understand Pomoly and Seek Outside make some good stoves too.
The radiation heat transfer emissivity coefficient for glass is between .94 and .92. In other words glass is an insulator with terrible characteristics for a stove. Gypsum for example is better at .84 even, while polished steel in as low as .075 making it a great conductor of radiant as well as conductive heat. Time for a refresher of your thermodynamics class, so misinformation gets cleared up. Glass does make the tent so much nicer at night on the other hand that I plan to have the optional glass side window if I go with the winnerwell. A more efficient stove however seems to be the Four Dog line of stoves - I'd love to see a side by side review if ever you get one. Perhaps they would send a tester?
How big can you go with a cast iron pot and still get a more or less even spread of the heat? Is the maximum diameter the width of the oven top or the distance from the front to the chimney? Or something else?
I don't have a lot of experience with that specifically but I think you nailed it on the head. Width of stove and depth front to pipe. You could probably go a little larger, but too much and it won't cook as evenly.
Looking at the smaller stove in this video it seems like that is a fixed stove pipe; meaning it’s not the kind you roll up to make a pipe like I see on many videos. Is that correct? I’m a little leery of those rollup kind do you have any advice regarding that? thanks again for great information.
Indeed, that is a fixed pipe on the one in the video. And that would have been a good thing to mention in the video. I believe the roll up pipes are primarily for lightweight stoves designed for backpacking and such. They conserve space and weight, but they aren't as convenient and best wear gloves so as not to cut yourself. If you're car camping, I recommend a fixed/sectioned flue pipe. Cheers.
A hot tent stove at present isn't a good design worth having because it requires constant firewood every 2 hours so someone has to stay awake to do that, until someone comes up with a design to feed that stove on it's own it's just not worth the trouble
A fair point, although I've managed to figure out a system that gets me 4-6 hours of low and slow burn time in that large stove using a combo of hardwood and compressed sawdust bricks that get me through most of the night.
