INSTALLATION
Before
using
your
stove
in
the
tent,
be
sure
to
cure
the
paint.
Burn
the
stove
in
a
safe
open
area
(such
as
your
driveway
or
yard)
for
2
‐
3
hours
to
allow
the
oils
and
paint
from
the
manufacturing
process
to
cure.
Be
sure
to
set
up
your
pipe
so
that
it
can
cure,
also
(see
pipe
connection
,below).
Begin
the
fire
as
a
kindling
fire
and
DO
NOT
achieve
high
temperatures
quickly,
as
the
paint
needs
time
to
cure
slowly.
Once
the
unit
is
assembled
and
in
place
and
the
minimum
clearances
are
acquired,
it
must
be
coupled
to
any
chimney
with
a
connector
(stove
pipe).
Verify
the
clearance
between
your
pipe
and
the
surrounding
combustibles;
if
the
pipe
manufacturer’s
clearance
or
local
code
cannot
be
obtained
(usually
a
minimum
of
18”
or
457
mm),
you
may
use
an
insulated
stove
pipe
or
thermal
shield.
READ
AND
FOLLOW
THE
PIPE
MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS.
This
stove
takes
4”
diameter
stove
pipe.
Pipe
Connection:
Your
pipe
system
should
be
assembled
so
that
the
male
section
of
each
pipe
is
oriented
down
(male
end
toward
the
floor).
Attach
each
of
the
sections
together
with
three
sheet
metal
screws,
placed
equidistantly
around
the
pipe.
The
pipes
should
be
short
and
straight.
Any
sections
installed
horizontally
must
slope
at
least
¼”
per
foot,
with
the
lower
section
toward
the
stove.
Your
stove
pipe
should
extend
at
least
6”
above
the
ridge
of
the
tent.
This
reduces
the
possibility
of
spark
holes
being
burnt
in
the
roof.
CAUTION:
The
use
of
three
sheet
metal
screws
on
each
section
of
pipe
is
particularly
important
in
windy
conditions.
Be
sure
to
stake
down
your
tent
roof
and
ridge
to
prevent
movement
of
the
tent
and
roof.
Installation
of
a
‘barometric
draft
stabilizer’
(fireplace
register)
on
the
exhaust
system
is
prohibited.
However,
installation
of
a
draft
damper
is
recommended
,
in
the
section
of
pipe
that
is
closest
to
the
stove
body.
A
spark
arrestor
and
rain
cap
on
the
top
section
of
pipe
is
also
recommended
.
CAUTION:
Be
sure
to
check
the
spark
arrestor
daily
and
clean
as
necessary,
as
a
clogged
spark
arrestor
can
cause
smoke
to
spill
out
of
the
stove
door
or
could
even
cause
a
fire
in
the
stove
pipe.
Follow
the
pipe
manufacturer’s
and
the
damper
manufacturer’s
instructions
when
installing
the
damper
in
the
chimney
pipe.
