- every time we open the door of the stove, smoke billows out as if there is no draft pulling it up the pipe.
- fires have a hard time burning consistently.
- once outside the tent, we have about 3-4 feet of pipe vertical.
- there is no flange on the back of the stove that a pipe fits snug over....instead we have to insert a crimped elbow into the stove hole the best we can. (possibly the biggest issue?)

Any experts out there that see obvious issues with our set-up and can troubleshoot? Help is appreciated guys. Feel free to PM.

I also have a Deluxe Wall Tent, and a side wall exit stove pipe hole.

The rule of thumb to use when determining how to set up your pipe is:

You need three times as many vertical sections of pipe for each section of horizontal pipe.

If you need 2 horizontal sections, you need 6 feet of vertical pipe to create adequate draft.

Start by opening the damper, and the air intake.

Then open the door.

This will allow smoke that has accumulated in the firebox to exit out the pipe easily, reducing the chances of backflash and filling your tent with smoke when you open the door.

We use a 10ft steel rod that is pounded into the ground, and a sliding support that holds the bottom of the last horizontal pipe. The pipe rises alongside the rod, and we attach it with a 8" hose clamp. Works well and stands to very strong winds. Was designed and built by a fabricator friend who is great at solving problems!
