Springbar Wood Stove Set Up

[Fever Buck]

Thinking about picking up a Springbar Classic Jack 140 in time for my 2025 Wyoming Elk Tag. I have a Davis Tent Stove that has a straight 5.5” pipe. Looks like Springbar is trying to force folks to use Winnerwell stoves that use a 3.5” pipe and uses the 45° bend to go through the side wall. Anyone found an easy way to modify their existing stove to make the 45° bend and buy/make a stove jack collar that works with the detachable stove vent on the Springbar?

CLASSIC JACK 140

With 140 sq. ft. of interior living space, a generous shade awning, and our premium 10oz cotton duck canvas throughout, the Classic Jack 140 is built tough for everything from extended wilderness basecamps to styled out desert retreats. When used with the Zip-In Stove Jack Accessory, the Classic...

I hunt solo or with my brother so thinking a Springbar makes sense rather than getting a big Davis Wall Tent Stove but if I can’t make the stove work that may force my hand.

I was looking at their Skyliner tent a year or so ago, wanting an American made tent, but didn't want to buy a new stove, especially a Chinese one. Called them and they said you could use any stove if you could find parts and pieces. I bought a Ellis pyramid instead and happy so far.

How did you fashion the stove to work with the side wall of the Springbar?

I recently ordered a CJ 140 and had the same question. Given you have to cut the hole in the zip-in stove jack attachment, theoretically you should be able to utilize other stoves on the market as long as they use a similar pipe size and allow for the 45 degree angle pipe.

Yes, that’s my point I’m getting at. The side wall flashing kit is only 4.7”, which most common wood stoves are bigger. Just don’t see how to make it work. Guess I’ll need to go with a Davis tent that’s going to be way too big.

I would imagine you could use another company's flashing kit if the angles and spacing of the stove in the tent work out. Here is one example I found (no experience with this product) that would appear to allow up to a more standard 5" pipe to be utilized.

Sweet. So now just gotta find some 45° pipe bends

Get a 5" to 4" reducer and run 4" pipe out the side through the stove jack.

5" Single Wall Elbow - 45 Degree - Tiny Wood Stove

5" Black stove pipe 45 degree elbow. Two of these fittings can be used as an off-set to direct pipe away from the stove in situations where your flue does not exit directly above your stove. Don’t forget clamps! Every pipe joint needs to be secured with either a clamp or three stovepipe screws...

So, looks like I just grab 2 of these and the flash kit that Matt posted above. Should be in business. Pumped.

Just thought I'd circle back on this and see if the stove and gasket worked out. I'm not 100% sold on the Winnerwell stoves for my Springbar setup.

I have not purchased yet but plan to do so once a sale happens (hoping for Black Friday). Will update once I receive everything.

I have seen several vid on YouTube of guys putting in stove jacks... might look there. I sure do love my Spring Bar and have just used a Mr Buddy heater, but have considered the stove.

Good to hear. Which model are you using?
