besides spark arrestors, is there any tricks to protecting your tent from getting holes burned in it from the wood stove? Is it a concern or am I worried for nothing?
Dampeners make a big difference. Also the type of wood your burn, however there may not be a lot of options of available wood where you set-up. Hardwoods seem to produce less sparks than soft pitchy woods. Not claiming to be an expert but I have noticed a difference. When I test fired my wood stove for the first time I paid close attention to what was coming out the pipe with different types of wood; hardwoods burned much cleaner- especially without bark on it; likely because it produces more heat so there is more complete combustion and less junk going up the pipe. The dampener keeps the heat in the stove and again promotes more complete combustion thus less unburned fliers going up the pipe.besides spark arrestors, is there any tricks to protecting your tent from getting holes burned in it from the wood stove?

Beware the punky wood. I had never the problem until I loaded the stove with some punky wood a couple years ago. When I answered a call of nature I was surprised to see my stove pipe (no the other one) was blasting sparks like a firework. The next morning I had a fishnet roof around the stove jack.
