- The complete guide to installing a stove jack in a canvas tent. Stove Jacks or flashing kits allow you to set up a wood burning tent stove inside your tent and vent the flue pipe safely. Portable wood burning tent stoves are a safe and efficient way to heat your tent. Perfect for winter camping or cool weather fall camping.
Stove jacks featured in this set up work with all types of canvas tents and stoves.
NOTE: We recommend placing your stove jack at least 3 feet away from your tent wall and 3 feet above the body of the stove. The more flue pipe exposed to the interior of the tent the better the heat transfer.

Watched a lot of videos as I prepare to cut a hole in my canvas tent. This is by far and away the best installation video. Simple and clear instruction. Thank you for posting this
Followed this today and installed my stove Jack perfectly. Thanks👍
Good job. One suggestion use a double walled insulated pipe in the stove jack.
I wholeheartedly agree with others, by far the best stove jack installation video. This is how to do the job neatly and effectively.
Why has every other video i watched been so hard and complicated. That's how you do it, nice simple effective.
I have just watched this video l have been waiting this amazing 😂 ❤❤❤❤
FINALLY! an opportunity to use the AWL on my leatherman!
Well done and informative. I will be using this video as a guide when I install mine!...Thanks
Out of all the fitting videos, this is the best, thanks :)
Great job and thanks for the helpful info. It's nice to see that anyone can do it alone. Cool. Hello from Toronto, Canada . Camping in the cold can be alot of fun. If your camping comfortably . Thanks again and take care.
I'll be adding a Sibley 500 Pro to my kit, hopefully within months; it's already in my cart, along with some accessories, including two stoves. I've been a tent camper for 6 decades -- including high quality mountaineering tents, but this will be my first bell tent. So I'm researching these very thoroughly. This is a great video that answers a lot of questions I had about stoves and stove placement. Thank you.
Thank you about to camp out all winter and I needed this
so clear and helpful thank you so much for taking the time to do this
Looks so easy will be doing it myself already ordered we'll put heat proof wrap around chimney extension.
Now thats a useful video. Not just showing a stove and not how to actually install/ use it.
Great explanation! Thank you very much!
Perfect! Just what I needed. Thank you for the tutorial. Off to set up my tent!
Thank you for this helpful video!
Thank you for sharing this video. I may be in the market for a tent and stove soon. Great video.
Thank you for demystifying this for me
Excellent instructions!
Thanks for the awesome tutorial, mate!
Great Video! Very Helpful 👍
Very professional presentation well done 👍🏻
Perfect demo
Interesting. Many thanks for posting!
very helpful...thank you for your video
Excellent video.
Just got 3M Bell tent will be using this video to installed my stove for some reason I thought the bell tent 3 m came with a stove Jack it does not thank you for the video safe travels from Australia
Exceptional! Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
That was great...very helpful...buying that stove for my Kodiak Canvas...well done !
I’d recommend using an awl when piercing the holes for the bolts. A knife could easily cut a larger hole than intended
OMG thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice Video
2:07 "You want the smallest hole possible" Amen!
THANK YOU!
Brilliant video , go you
Many many thanks
Here is an idea. When alone, once you put the nuts and bolts on, cut the middle of the tent output where the chimney will go out from and then you can hold the screws from this hole so you can tighten the nuts.
I like it. I'll try it!
Leave a closed end wrench and tighten it will press against the rubber out side and hold the wrench in place if it slips off flip the wrench and try again as most have a little Bend
Amazing video. Best Stove Jack installation video. Simple techniques, common tools, and great explanation I have been researching canvas tents for awhile now and was familiar with CanvasCamp. The Protec 500 and Pro 500 are amazing tents but why only 2 foot sidewalls? 3 would be much better. If they had an option for 3 foot walls, then I probably would have already bought one.
- why only 2 foot sidewalls?
Because we feel that the tent looks and feels 10x better with 2 ft walls.
- 3 would be much better.
Depends on what for. You'd indeed have a bit more room on the inside.
Cheers, CanvasCamp
Looks good but what about when the stovepipe is getting really hot what is usually the case? Temperatures in a stovepipe can reach 1000 degrees or more and can quickly overheat a run of the mill stove jack leaving you vulnerable to “ problems “ like burning fabric, smoke and damage.
Hi, keep some distance between the stove jack and the stove, and use a double walled stove pipe when your stove creates too much heat. Cheers.
Yes double pipe should be standard
Great video!! Is it best to have a double wall stove pipe going through the stove jack to help reduce heat or will the silicone handle high temps? Thanks
Thanks! The type of stove jack you run should be based on your stove size, jack placement, and the heat output of your fire. The Exit I stove jack featured in the video is designed to take the heat and is generally all that is required for small stoves like the Gstove or super efficient mid-size stoves like the Orland. If your running big fires, big stoves, have a small clearance between the firebox and the jack, or use high heat wood (like pine) you may need a double walled jack such as the Exit II (www.canvascamp.com/en_us/exit-ii-stove-jack).
THANK YOU! Too many idiots out there with uploads "Heres a tent stove I made figure it out" exc. You made it all make sense and should dominate the DIY camp stove areana so get to making a paint can stove and showing how to install LOL
You don't need special tools to tighten the nuts yourself. Yes you should setup the tent to figure out exactly where you want the stove jack hole to be. Than once you mark the rings, holes to be punched than you can simply take down that part of the tent and work on it. Lot simpler, easier and you don't need a person outside to help with nuts/bolts.
Just some simple tips.
Yes, thse are very useful stove jack adapters.
Finally a specific video found the tent I want but it needs a jack now i can camp with that tentnyear round.
Can these jacks be used in a regular tent? Not canvass.... your video was quite professional and thorough.
Many thanks for this.. I've used my tent stove twice, and both times it melted the silicone stove jack (needed replacing both times). I think I need a twin wall jack. Any thoughts on why it melted while using normal, seasoned timber? Cheers.
I just purchased a Sibley 450 Pro Tech. As of this date they were out of stock on the stove. I live in the South so not a huge issue. I'll get one before next winter. I have a few questions for anyone.
1) What is the rule on putting a stove too close to a tent wall; do I need a fiber shield to protect the wall?
2) What is the rule on putting the stove pipe too close or not close enough to a seam?
Done!
This looks great! Just curious, wouldn't the water seep through punctures and perforations because it's not water sealed?
Excellent instructional video.
Well done👍
I was surprised you didn’t use some sort of heat resistant sealant between the jack and the canvas to further reinforce the joint, ensuring the joint doesn’t leak in the rain and the canvas from tearing, or is that not necessary?
I’m in Australia, we don’t have any G stoves here. We have Oz-Pig, Wooshka and Oztrail stoves available.
People think I’m crazy when I tell them I’m installing one in my canvas cabin tent.
Keep up the good work.
Not necessary, joint remains 100% waterproof. Tearing is not an issue as the tent fabric is clamped in between two metal discs. The Orland Stove is available in AU, and can be purchased on our Australian website: canvascamp.com/en_au/home
Thanks. Cheers, CanvasCamp
This is a roofer's perspective, a spring washer takes the place of the other side being managed.
Very nice, clear cut, and straight to the point video about installation of that tent stove jack. Thank you Mamm for taking that time to put this video together.
I’ve got 1 Question Mamm. What happens when you go to fold up that tent and put it away? Do you leave the stove jack installed? Or do you totally remove the stove jack, rings, and screws completely?
It would seem like if the Jack is removed for packing, then the hole you cut could tear.
And if you leave the jack installed during packing the tent away, it seems as tho it could either damage the tent or stove jack.
Thank you
Hi Lukus, you can just leave the stove jack in place when you fold your tent. Thousands have done it before you and we've never heard of it causing any issues. Cheers.
I really like the Gstove, and I like the Nomad View even more…but I went with something else because I didn’t like how they don’t have secondary burning.
Hi, our Canvascamp Bison Stove has secondary burning. Cheers.
This is cool!! Thank you!! If you're camping without your stove, do you just shove an empty tin can in the hole to keep the rain out?
We use a red plastic solo cup!
Great video :)
Only question I had was what do you do when you don’t have the stove installed? How do you cover the hole to prevent bugs or rain?
Maybe get a cup/bowl thing made up that bolts to the existing flue to cover it completely from the outside. A good fabricator could do it easily
Sealing up your stove jack when you're not using your tent stove is easy. As a temporary solution on short trips the best way to quickly and easily seal up your stove jack is to stick a plastic cup into the stove jack. The classic red Solo cup works great. For a long term seal you can disassemble the stove jack, remove the rubber flashing, and replace it with a piece of canvas sandwiched between the two metal rings.

Use a tenis ball
Would a 45 degree heat jack be better in this application or stay with what you are using in the vid. Seems to work ok
Great video. My only question would be, one your done camping, and your ready to pack up tent, would you be concerned with leaving the stove jack installed while folding and storage of the tent? That seems like it might hurt the canvas. Also, if you remove the stove jack,then you’ve got threads hanging that could easily rip.
As long as your packing your tent up clean and dry leaving the stove jack in there is no problem. If you are not going to be using a tent stove for a long period of time and want to seal up the jack you can simply unscrew the rings and swap out the rubber gasket for a piece of canvas. If you are concerned about fraying around the jack you can use a little bit of glue to keep them neat. We'll put this on the list of things to cover in a future video!
Well done instructional video, thank you. What tent are your installing in. It's a bell tent, but the roll-up sides suggests that it's not an Ozark. And how much protection is the mat underneath the stove? Thanks if you can respond.
It's the Sibley 450 Pro made by CanvasCamp.com
super tks tks tks
Reminds me of an ABS closet flange with metal ring. Possible DIY money saver?
what temp is the jack rated for? is there any heat transfer to the canvass
I have short arms too! Could you come and give me a hand to install the stove jack? I live in Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for the video. How do you close and seal the hole for warmer seasons?
A rain-plate is included with our Exit's. But pushing a flipped up side down hard plastic cup into the rubber Exit is by far the easiest and fastest way. Cheers, CanvasCamp
I installed a jack like this and the video was great! But, won’t the single wall pipe get to hot?
Yes, a single walled stove pipe can damage the jack (max 350degrees celsius). We advise using a double walled stove pipe, or some other kind of insulation, installing the jack far enough away from the stove, using a stove with a baffle plate so the flames don't shoot straight up the stove pipe, ...
Cheers, CanvasCamp
say you are not using the stove and it rains what do you do
Do you not need the insulated pipe going through the stove jack, or is it a high heat stove jack that won't be affected by the intense heat that close to the firebox.?
Thanks in advance and I hope you all have a blessed and Happy New Year,.
Dale
The Exit stove jacks are generally very heat resistant. However, everything in the physical universe we occupy will burn at some point! Jack placement is entirely dependent on your environment, the type of stove your using, the size of the fires your building, and even the type of wood your burning. If you've got a big firebox and high heat output you can either mount your jack higher to give yourself more clearance OR you can fit the jack around a heat shield for extra protection. The Gstove in this video has an accessory heat shield available for purchase. A higher end stove like the Orland Camp Stove which puts out a ton of heat has a heat shield included. You can also go with an Exit II (www.canvascamp.com/en_us/exit-ii-stove-jack) which is purpose built for high heat applications.
The most important thing to remember when dealing with tent stoves is this: it's not the size of your fire, it's the way you use it! If you need more heat in your tent the solution is getting more of those flue pipe sections inside your tent - not adding more fuel. In this application I'm burning lodge pole pine at 8500ft with the Gstove which has a pretty small fire box and I have not experienced any heat damage on the jack. I placed this stove about as close as you reasonably can to the side wall of the tent - mostly because it's the best camera angle. For the every day user I would place that stove a foot or two further into the tent which would give you more clearance between the box and the jack.
Feel free to contact us directly through canvascamp.com and we'll be happy to talk through your specific application anytime!
Silicone can withstand 500+ and be food grade as well... still i would only consider it a 1 sesonal use item. Because its fire were playin with id verify a trusted manufacturer when purchasing.
Sorry maybe a really silly question how often do these things catch fire with the chimney going through and touching the jack like it does what stop it’s heating up the metal bracket that’s screwed in and burning/melting, really want to do this on an old tent of mine but the security factor is a worry
Hi,
This looks great.
But how do you keep the rain out when camping in warm weather and not using your stove?
A) you can install the rain plate. B) you can fit some fabric in between the two disks. C) Push a hard platic cup up side down into the whole. Cheers.
Looks good to me I got the same kind of stove
Can I use a portable wood stove with an elbow pipe and stove jack on the wall in a tiny home?
Im about to cut a hole in a topper on my truck. Taking my sons on a lot of camping trips now that they are older. How are these Stove Jacks any different than the ones I can buy at Home Depot, Lowes or menards?
Take some shoe polish (canned Kiwi) & go around the top of you pipe & gentle put it against the fabric & just press gently to make your mark if that would be an idea :)
can i fit this stove in my long patrol backpack?
using an ice pick or something similar would be better then x cut.
What do you do when you don't have the stove pipe installed through the jack? Is there a cover to keep out rain, etc.?
The long term solution if you don't plan on using your stove for extended periods while your camping is to remove the rubber portion of the jack and replace it with a simple piece of canvas and sandwich the whole thing back together. In the short term: The best way to seal up your stove jack when not in use it to stick a plastic cup (like a solo cup) into the jack from the inside of the tent with the bottom of the cup facing out. It may seem like a bootleg solution but you get a really tight seal with the galvanized rubber and it doesn't require any additional modification to the tent. It may sound crazy but Stove jack covers that are permanently installed often do not do the job as well as the solo cup. The goal of a stove jack cover is to prevent leakage but installing them puts additional sewing seams on your primary canopy surface. A horizontal seam on the canopy is going to hold dirt, debris, and moisture and will be a prime breeding ground for mold. This is yet another reason we feel passionately about the modular jack over the pre-installed jack.
If it was me I would find an appropriate sized piece of PVC cap and just push it up in the hole 🤷🏻♂️
@gomojo107I would recommend installing the jack once and leaving it in there for the remainder of the tent's life and just plugging it when you're not using a stove. It's always pretty cold up in the mountains at night so I use the stove more often than not. If I wasn't using the stove all that often I would Side Exit the stove (Side exit the stove: czcams.com/video/43ScBAOIIxg/video.html)
@gomojo107 Non what so ever. It's perfectly safe.
Any suggestion for solution on when you don't use the stove? Don't want an open hole out, but at the same time you don't just want to stick something in the hole to plugg it, want something good/smart to cover 😄
Our Exit's will soon come with a plate to 'close' them. Up to now most people flip a hard plastic cup over and push it into the rubber completely sealing the hole. Cheers
Hi! Great video! Can this be used on a regular tent? I have a 3.5m x 3.5 m x 2.1 m tent but not canvas tent material, do u think this can work on it? Thanx!!! Nico.
Not recommended for plastic tents.
How do you seal off your tent stove jack if you're camping in warmer weather and wont need the stove?
thats a good question!! :)
Mo Ho so I kept researching and found a stove jack made by winnerwell. They sell a flashing kit that’s basically a sheet metal circle with matching holes. I ended up buying that set and it works great. winnerwell.us/collections/winnerwell®-accessories-1/products/flashing-kit-rain-cover
That's a pretty nifty solution. Thanks for sharing. For long term sealing we recommend sandwiching a piece of canvas in between the stove jack rings - same idea as the product you recommended. For a short term solution, there is no better tool than the classic red plastic solo cup.
I have a canvas regent tent with a roof at 12’ high point in the center that tapers out to 12’ or 10’ (can’t remember exact) square, then my walls are 7’ high. There is are overlap tie flap doors on two “ends” (opposite sides basically). So where should I put the flue hole? Any idea what size stove I would need? I probably wouldn’t be camping in weather below the teens, if I can come up with a way to warm my tent, otherwise I have to just continue with fair weather camping lol
Checkout the Winnerwell Woodlander Tent Stove (www.canvascamp.com/en_us/winnerwell-woodlander-tent-stove).
I would recommend placing your stove at least 3 feet away from the walls. Make sure you get some extra flue pipe sections so spark arrestor is higher than the peak of your tent.
Have you had any issues with the silicone melting by not using double or triple walled stove pipe to pass through the jack? I have read they sometimes melt?
Hi, We love them for bunch of reasons. But yes, they are not indestructible. They can melt / dry out / get brittle when they have to handle more heat than they are designed for. They fail for one or a combination of the following reasons:
Single walled stove pipe: placing the jack way too close to the stove, using a stove without baffle plate.
Double walled pipe: basically impossible unless faulty setup or you're trying to break it.
Cheers, CanvasCamp
Only question I have is does the tent material mater when installing a wood stove and stove jack? I'm looking to install a wood stove to a 10×10 canopy that attaches itself to the L shaped tent I have.
Plastic melts so nylon/polyester tents are not recommended.
QUESTION... Can anyone tell me what you do with the whole and heavy flashing kit you mounted to the canvas during the summer when you don't need a stove? How do you re-seal your tent? Thank you.
Simply push a plastic cup upside-down into the exit to close the hole. (takes 2 seconds and seals 100%). The flashing kit is very light, it doesn't weigh down the tent when properly pitched.
I’d like to ask if once you e taken you tent down, and taken the jack off, do you hem on sow tap around the cut hole to stop the canvas fraying?
We've only done that once, we glued the patch so the canvas doesn't fray. Cheers.
Have a question.
Could you recommend a tee pee style tent, 1 person can set up that has a stove camp chimney outlet, floor & is 4 season with a center height of 6 feet? And to accommodate myself & Dog, thanks!
Check out our Tipi! Available in a variety of sizes! czcams.com/video/IrFw96FPid0/video.html
So I bought one of luxes big tents the Hercules and a Gstove
Would you still recommend using this set up through their built in stove jack material?
I'm not sure if the plastic tent walls can hold a real jack. I would suggest asking the manufacturer.
How do you plug the hole when not using the stove? This is where a traditional stove jack and flap are maybe better?

Hate to side track you but what kind of boots do you have on ? My wife would love those ❤️

Super warm, waterproof, and highly recommended. Got 10 years out of my last pair. The only thing more important than shelter in the outdoors is footwear!
does this prevent the canvas from fraying? Looking seriously at this but worried cutting the hole will lead to eventual fraying of the canvas.
Hi, the fabric can't fray as clamped in-between the two metal discs. Cheers
Hi there do you think this type of tent stove jack would work with a yurt?
Yes
Instead of cutting all the way around the edge can't you just leave the tabs to kind of make it a more snug fit?
😀🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏👍👍👍🇷🇺 Ребята,как у вас здорово!
Is it possible to add a 45 to pipe? I have a kodiak canvas flex bow tent and need to go out the side
Yes. With the Kodiak I would definitely recommend using a heat shield for your flue pipe along with an Exit 1 Stove Jack. You''ll also need to tie off the flue pipe to the cross bar for additional stability.
Can it be installed in a pop up tent that is NON canvas? Thank you for being very narrative
I would not recommend using a tent stove in a non-canvas tent.
wood job .
What is the type of tile you have to protect the tent ground sheet?
I think it's bluestone or slate. Picked it up for $2 in the defective tile pile at Home Depot. It lives in my kitchen when I'm indoors - makes a great trivet and charcuterie board.
I bot the preself tent i dont know how that jack
Will do when i fold down
that won't pose a problem.
The flu on my stove is only 60mm diameter, is there a stove jack small enough to fit that please?
Yes there is: www.canvascamp.com/en/exit-i-mini-stove-jack

The sound of the canvas tearing was hard to listen to. Rrrrriiip!
Can these safely be installed in nylon tents?
What is that tent? it’s awesome!
It's the CanvasCamp Sibley 500 Pro. Link in the description. Cheers
