INSTALLATION
Beforeusingyourstoveinthetent,besuretocurethepaint.Burnthestoveinasafeopen
area(suchasyourdrivewayoryard)for2‐3hourstoallowtheoilsandpaintfromthe
manufacturingprocesstocure.Besuretosetupyourpipesothatitcancure,also(seepipe
connection,below).BeginthefireasakindlingfireandDONOTachievehightemperatures
quickly,asthepaintneedstimetocureslowly.
Oncetheunitisassembledandinplaceandtheminimumclearancesareacquired,itmustbe
coupledtoanychimneywithaconnector(stovepipe).Verifytheclearancebetweenyourpipe
andthesurroundingcombustibles;ifthepipemanufacturer’sclearanceorlocalcodecannotbe
obtained(usuallyaminimumof18”or457mm),youmayuseaninsulatedstovepipeor
thermalshield.READANDFOLLOWTHEPIPEMANUFACTURER’SINSTRUCTIONS.
Thisstovetakes4”diameterstovepipe.
PipeConnection:Yourpipesystemshouldbeassembledsothatthemalesectionofeachpipe
isorienteddown(maleendtowardthefloor).Attacheachofthesectionstogetherwiththree
sheetmetalscrews,placedequidistantlyaroundthepipe.Thepipesshouldbeshortand
straight.Anysectionsinstalledhorizontallymustslopeatleast¼”perfoot,withthelower
sectiontowardthestove.
Yourstovepipeshouldextendatleast6”abovetheridgeofthetent.Thisreducesthe
possibilityofsparkholesbeingburntintheroof.
CAUTION:Theuseofthreesheetmetalscrewsoneachsectionofpipeisparticularlyimportant
inwindyconditions.Besuretostakedownyourtentroofandridgetopreventmovementof
thetentandroof.
Installationofa‘barometricdraftstabilizer’(fireplaceregister)ontheexhaustsystemis
prohibited.
However,installationofadraftdamperisrecommended,inthesectionofpipethatisclosest
tothestovebody.
Asparkarrestorandraincaponthetopsectionofpipeisalsorecommended.
CAUTION:Besuretocheckthesparkarrestordailyandcleanasnecessary,asacloggedspark
arrestorcancausesmoketospilloutofthestovedoororcouldevencauseafireinthestove
pipe.
Followthepipemanufacturer’sandthedampermanufacturer’sinstructionswheninstalling
thedamperinthechimneypipe.
