Beaut little camp stove

Long Weekend · Guru

Homecamp.com.au has more than ten models of these stoves at various prices - some quite/very expensive.

What I did find interesting was that homecamp also had several tents adapted to have these stoves inside with the smoke chimney going up through a tailored hole in the tent roof.

With a little imagination I could see one of the stoves being used in a caravan annex. Shouldn't be too hard to put a exit hole in the awning roof the same type as for the tents.

(I know, somebody will mention when not having the stove set up rain will come through the hole. A flap should take care of that problem.)

Would be great for semi permanent campers down south during winter.

The recent two deaths in Omeo from a combustion stove and CO poisoning in a tent should be a salutary reminder to keep such stoves out of tents.

Mike, when I was in the states, for a 6 month stint, these woodstoves, were fitted to tents for winter camping, and I had borrowed one, for a 2 week trip in the Yukon. The flue goes out the top like in a normal house. Their is no problem with CO poisoning. This is how Americans do winter camping. It is a big thing in the States, also Canada and BC. Once properly flued thru the roof of the tent, stoves are 100% safe.

I think that comment is a bit over the top.

I grew up in a house with wood fired stove. All everybody had once.

If they are flued outside, not a worry.

I don't know how much CO comes from a wood stove.

And now I have a wood burner fireplace.

And I grew up in a house with an open coal burning fire but I wouldn't have a combustion stove inside a tent. I appreciate it's supposed to be sealed but do the manufacturers have a test process (I'll bet not) and how do you test it after (say) two years?

In any event a CO alarm would be a very good idea.

It has a flue/chimney. 90% of all emissions exit the tent via the flue.

It is the open fire type "stove" (No flue) that are dangerous in a sealed tent. Most tents are drafty which ensures fresh air is constantly replacing the atmosphere inside the tent or annexe. Ventilation is the key.

Edit: a monitor in this case is a good option

Back in the day when houses were built with an open fire and wood stoves they were built with vents high on the walls.
They had two purposes.
1. Provide general guaranteed ventilation to all rooms.
2. Guarantee ventilation to the internal house frame.

1. No longer exists.
Hence the risk factor has increases if you have a wood fire or a gas wall furnace with a leaky flue.

Just a note about "most tents are drafty". Yes MANY years ago but the last 20 or so most can be perfectly sealed and in cold weather people close them up completely.

Nice unit, trouble is many caravanners would want to know its weight yes? I couldnt see a weight on that link. It's like advertising a 2400W genny and not having a weight on it.
