Wall Tent Stove Pipe Hole Placement

[OregonSteeler]

I just ordered a new canvas elk wall tent. Been wanting to upgrade for years and finally pulled the trigger.

The hardest decision for me was where to have the stove pipe hole placed as the manufacture typically installs it in the wall. I circumvented the decision by paying extra and having one put in both the wall and the roof. Figured it wouldn't hurt having the option.


Though, if you had to choose, would you rather have your stove pipe going through the side wall or through the roof? In my previous tent I had it through the wall and absolutely hated it. But that's just opinion. What's yours?

Neither...... End wall or bust.

Dang! Never even thought of that....

When I had my tent made, i asked for it in the wall. Left the Roof whole and unaltered and limited the ember or spark damage. a lot of good reasons why it made sense ... Then i used it for 2 or 3 years and found that it just didnt work as well. Had it altered to add the stove pipe hole to the Roof. Now I have both and havent even thought about using it out the wall

I’ve seen some center located ones and that looks pretty sweet to maximize space
