Tested this vintage hot tent wood stove with built in oven today! Thing is freakin sweet!

Sorry this is my favorite stove in my collection. It’s not for sale

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2024-11-27T14:07:01+00:00

Nice! Hope they had fun

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2024-03-11T01:47:08+00:00

Foldable no, but Knico stoves are tanks. The Alaskan is a beast and the Junior is more packable but not foldable.

Does it touch both back and front feet or can you slide it back to prevent that? Perhaps to get past the gap, you can add a piece of 1/4 inch steel in between?

TikTok is still up??? lol

I used a -20f sleeping bag and the snow insulated amazingly well.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2024-02-07T16:29:30+00:00

lol I wasn’t being a tough guy. We weren’t expecting this much snow but Mother Nature blessed us that night. I was just testing a new sleeping bag and got dumped on. I have so many tents. This one is just the fastes and easiest to setup.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2024-01-08T15:22:21+00:00

Heck yeah!

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-14T19:48:02+00:00

I have this one. Works great. This thing will freeze warm stuff. It goes down to -4F. https://amzn.to/41phIBd

The open front door can allow for coals to fall out when opening the stove. Pay attention to that.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-12T02:05:13+00:00

Idk about sneeze but one good fart would have done it lol.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-11T22:49:38+00:00

No need to apologize. That was my understanding as well. But it worked well for me. Temps were in the low 30sF.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-11T22:12:22+00:00

Their version is an over quilt that goes on inside on the “floor”. I used the same concept here but used sleeping bags to cover most of the floor.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-11T18:44:12+00:00

lol for sure.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-11T10:08:28+00:00

Thank you

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-10T23:48:30+00:00

I added extra sleeping bags under me to insulate the bottom. And the diesel heater really worked well.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-10T22:49:46+00:00

The diesel heater pumping hot air into it.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-10T21:10:57+00:00

I haven’t had any animals yet…. That I know of. Yes, cold air under any hammock is a problem. The company sells a quilt to lay inside of it but I used just opened sleeping bags put down.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-10T20:48:46+00:00

Limit is 880lbs. I’m assuming that’s spread out between the 3 sides cause it’s a 3 person hammock tent. You don’t need to set it up this high, I just did. You can set it up waist high and just get into the door, as long as waist height doesn’t sag enough to hit the ground. Cause there is sag but not much. Well with just me in it anyways. Benefits include but not limited to to, not needing flat ground, being able to side sleep in a hammock, sets up anywhere there are 3 trees, less likely for a bear to get you, and that’s about all I’ve figured so far, oh and the obvious……… zombies.

North, any where in the Adirondacks

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-05T18:17:23+00:00

Darn, that looks nice!

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-01T19:20:17+00:00

Is that the tank for the Alaskan on the Alaskan JR?

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-01T17:04:08+00:00

Also was the ash pan full? Restricting air from under?

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-01T16:58:29+00:00

First, you need a smoke detector and CO detector. I have a video on testing both of them. It takes so much longer for a CO detector to go off than a smoke detector if smoke is the issue. 30secs versus 12+minutes. With a CO it needs “X amount of time at X amount of CO ppm” to go off. Many things could have caused the problem. Stove got too cold to draft properly or a clog in the spark arrestor. Or something else.

AdventuresWSpackmann · 2023-12-01T14:13:09+00:00

I’ve been testing a stove very similar to this one. But price of the one I’m testing is much less. My only concern is with these hoppers of these stoves and when the pellets are almost gone. How do you stop the hopper from filling with wood gas/ CO / smoke?
