Cutting the hole for your stove pipe in the tent How too.

[SHTF]

When I received my 4man Tipi it didnt have the Stove Jack hole cut out. So tonight after some questions for Aron, and a bit of research I got to work on it.
Chunky Soup Can I used



Size reference after I squished it





Place a board under the Stove Jack then find the Center in Stove Jack place can with the long side towards the top of the tipi peak



Trace around the can I used a auto pencil for this no need for sharpy





I started my Cut with a material cutter this worked well to get the cut started but you can use a sharp knife or exacto knife.



Finish the rest of the cut around with scissors.





measured the cut and its 3 inches on the side and 3 1/4 from top to bottom. This allows for the angle of the Tipi.


Just thought I would share how I did this for folks who need to cut their own hole in the stovejack.

Do they come uncut on all of the Tipi's and sawtooth??

I know the annex on my MegaTarp was already cut.....

i'll be lloking at a stove soon for fun at the beach, I guess you'll let us know how the stove works that would be cool.

Your annex is precut, my assumption on the larger Tipi's not being cut is based on the fact you have a wider selection of stoves and pipe sizes verses the tarps.

3 or 4?

I run a 4" out of my canvas wall tent and the only "hole" is a + slightly bigger than the pipe- then just push the pipe through.

this is the method recommended by John at Bearpaw, too.
