The Bell Tent Shop recommend using only fire retardant bell tents, tipis and touareg tents when using a wood burning stove. Our flashing kits should be installed along with our wood burning stoves safely inside your shelter. It is the customers responsibility to make sure their tent has the appropriate fire retardancy to ensure the safe use of a wood-burning stove inside their tent. The Bell Tent Shop accepts no responsibility for the use or misuse of any wood-burning stove inside any canvas/none canvas structure. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the shelter used has the appropriate fire retardant qualities necessary to stop the shelter from setting on fire. Never leave your stoves unattended and make sure it has been extinguished thoroughly before sleeping. Always stand your stove on a fire retardant surface away from textiles as sparks can set fire to the groundsheet/ floor covering or nearby textiles. We do not accept any liability for loss or damage incurred by use of the stove.
Using a Wood burning stove in our canvas tents.
You can’t put a stove in just any tent.
The tent will typically need to be canvas and have an opening for the flue pipe (the ‘chimney’). We sell fireproof tents and accessories that are perfect for accommodating a wood burner safely.
Using a wood-burning stove inside a bell tent is a wonderful idea but please take care and follow our advice to keep safe and warm.
Always take sensible precautions with fire when using in a canvas tent.
Always use a fire retardant heat proof mat under your stove to protect hot embers that may escape from your stove.
You’ll want a spark arrester on the top of the flue to prevent hot sparks landing on the tent.
You’ll need to keep combustible items away from the stove as they do get very hot.
You’ll need to keep at hand a way of extinguishing any fire.
You’ll need to keep a fire extinguisher inside the tent.
You’ll need to keep a carbon monoxide alarm inside the tent.
Keep hands and body away from the hot stove surface.
Carbon Monoxide is a killer and using a wood burning stove inside a tent needs to be managed to avoid any danger from fire and Carbon monoxide poisoning!
Our tent stoves are designed so the fumes should be directed out of the tent via the flue. However, there are some precautions you need to take.
Your tent must be well ventilated. Leave the windows unzipped and ideally the door open with the fly sheet zipped up.
Our tents are designed to let air flow through the tent via windows, the door and vents at the top of the tent.
Don’t leave your stove on through the night. Always take sleeping bags and blankets to snuggle down at night once the stove has been distinguished.
If you do want to leave your stove on through the night, you’ll need someone to stay up on fire watch to man the stove and make sure there’s still adequate ventilation.
Having a wood-burning stove inside a canvas tent is a great experience, offers warmth and the ability cook on the stove.
The stove will generate much more heat than an electric heater or oil-fired radiator and you will be very cosy even if the weather is cold and wet outside.
Cooking in a canvas tent is another great experience and our wood burning stoves offer a hot surface to hold your kettle and pots/pans. We also sell water heaters that will boil in no time and are moulded to sit happily on the flue leaving more room on the stove for cooking pots.
Enjoy this wonderful experience SAFELY inside our Fire retardant canvas tents from The Bell Tent Shop….
