Why Pre-Burn Your Hot Tent Wood Stove 

Happy New Year Kevin, appreciate all that you bring to us and give! Thank you

Loving this. Like watching Larry David if he did bushcraft.

This is exactly the video I needed! Thanks Kevin and congratulations on getting yourself a gift that will keep on giving!

Just want to thank you for the advice you gave me a few years ago when i asked if the old town disco 169 was a good overall canoe. I've enjoyed it and some times maybe abused it but she's still going strong. And also thx for the amazing content, keep it up. Happy newyear -1 day 😅

Thanks for all the effort in the last year, looking forward to 2020. Happy new year, uncle Kevin

WOW... Only Kevin Callan can turn a stove burn off into a good time... Loved it Kevin, now I need to get a stove... Dennis, Canoehound Adventures

Looks great! Happy New Year from Brian 79 & Jordan. Hope to see you at the Outdoor Adventure Show in Feb

Metal fume fever from zinc on galvanized pipe can be very serious.

Great little tips and advice packed into this. Looking into a pocket bellows now. Happy New Year.

Just had a bottle of Cabot trail. Very rich

Hi Kevin. Good video, thanks for sharing this. I believe that Lure if the North sells these stoves as well.

Awesome video. Careful when using galvanized stove pipe. They release zinc vapor when they get hot, even after the burn off.

Very cool share. Not seen this before. Love seeing new stuff. Thanks for the share.

Good tips!

some great advice. Pre burn also means you get to play with your new toy early

Happy New Year Kevin, not great for winter camping so far. All the best for 2020 for you and yours.

Ive seen that Cabot Trail stuff at the liquor store, but I haven't tried it yet. My palate isn't very friendly to creamy alcohol drinks. Which makes me the opposite of my Missus, who can't stand single-malt scotch. I guess we won't be dipping into one another's supplies... Good info on doing an initial burn with a new stove. I'd never have thought about it. Those stoves seem like a good price at COEC; Ive looked at them before, but I couldn't figure what the big diff would have been between the Packer and the Alaskan Jr in the 10x10 Esker Classic 2. When I finally get my hot tent, I'll take a closer look.

Skol Speedoman Ash and your father. May all your memories be good ones! Shout out to Tim and his great business, Canadian Outdoor equipment-- we need to do $150 for free shipping. But CDE works magic shipping into the States quickly! And to you Kevin. Merry New Year.

Happy new year!

Hi Kevin, I was thinking of using one of these for car camping in the summer. It might be nice to use under a tarp when it rains. Also it's nice to keep the smoke out of my face when I don't fee like a camp fire. What do you think?

I know it seems like a simple device, but very few people know how to properly operate a wood stove !

I have the next one down. I am concerned the fire will burn through as it is so flimsy. I have 2 elbows and s reducer. I want to heat a garage.

My neighbor has a bandage on his hand from splitting kindling, he is always hurting himself but it is alcohol related.

Hey you missed the big 3 couple hot tent trip. Maybe an age thing going on, but i'm sure you could still show those young bucks a thing or two. At least how to hit the hard stuff vs that cardboard box wine.

Do I need to do this with a cast iron wood stove too?

Ash sorry for your loss! Hi Kevin, nice stove, what was the whiskey's name? Thanks

Four Dog Stoves are good from Minnesota but not cheap

Kevin.. Think that nasty smell might be Sasquatch.. They're moving around from Lake Superior at this time of year.. Best strategy is offer one a stiff drink and get on his good side..

I'm kind of hoping for your lungs' sake that the mat is not actually made from asbestos, mesothelioma is really bad news.

That's a bargain for a vintage canvas pack!

Asbestos base...
