Hi robnchar

I saw your review and pictures of your soulpad tribe 5000, I see you have the stove- is that the blaze from soulpad. If you don't mind I could do with a bit of info on the flue, especially the sleeved section that fits through the vent

TIA

hi . Its not a Blaze stove its simlier to a frontier stove . We bought it before we bought the tipi to use under our tarp ! I made the chimeny its a 3metre x 3inch di stainless tube cut in half to make it easier to transport the 2 lengths are joined with a coller made from the out side of an old 1ltr stainless flask held in place with jubilie clips . the heat shield is a sheet of stainless bent and pot riveted in place then 8 stainless 1inch strips pot riveted in place to to keep a 1and half inch gap between chimeny and shield held in place with jubilie clips top and bottom . The spark arrester on top is the inside of the stainless flask cut slitts in and bent with pliers to loover them held on with the wonderfull jubilie clip. Im lucky as my inlaws are metal stockists so the cost was minamal but it still works out a lot cheeper option than buying . |The capping for the shield is an old alloy camping pan sealed wth sillacan .

im in the procces of making a stove from a 13kg gas bottle .

Hope this helps . id put pics on here but aint work it out yet .

Thanks for the info Rob

Currently considering my options, the frontier or one of the army surplus ones here are top of my list. There are so many outfitter stoves in the US that I might hold off until I am back out there with work but would need to spring for titanium to avoid excess baggage charges the idea of a useable stove under 10 kilos is attractive though

You will need to read the board tutorial on posting pictures

I wouldn't touch the stove you provided a link for. It has no ash pan and therefore impossible to create an updraught which is vital in a solid fuel stove. However on the same page on the link is an alternative stove down near the bottom on the same page which does have an ash pan and would be far more fuel efficient. It also looks lighter in weight and more portable than the other one.

not sure I follow your logic, burning wood no need for a grate as wood will burn fine with air supply from above and a good bed of ash. Coal and other solid fuel need air from below and a grate is needed.

Burning wood in an enclosed chamber just can't give the wood sufficient air to combust efficiently. If you use such a stove in a tent it would mean you would have a tent full of smoke and a firebox full of unspent fuel. Even the ubiquitous Aga stove needs an additional source of air via the ash tray. Close both the fuel door and the ashcan access door and the fire simply goes out.

the linked stove isn't enclosed, it has air feeds both in and below the access door. I have a burner in the house and when burning wood do not use the bottom/through grate air vent (manufacturer recommended) as there is no need

for example
