Not shown, but actually I've used a little thing of 4 layers of hardware cloth inserted into the pipe at the bottom - this works well with poppy wod and doesnt' clog up like ones on
the end of the pipe. although I've found with that 6 foot pipe on that little fire it's unnecessary.

Looks like a nice hunting tent for deep winter. how could you make it hold enough wood and damper it so it would burn low all night?
It would make it awkward but more stable if the pipe was welded to the stove, or to a "rear piece" that the front connected to, thus using the stove as part of the stability and insuring that the fire goes through the tent, no wait a minut <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> thats wrong. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I'm relatively convinced it isn't possible without large stove to get an all night burn like that. there just isn't enough mass inside a 6 inch 1 foot long tube to do that. I'm pretty happy getting 30 minutes of heat out of a fill - my emphasis has been to keep it light, compact, for it to throw lots of heat, and affordable. So far so good, it heats the tent well, and is still compact and light enough to be backpackable.

as far as stability, I've wired the pipe to the tent pole near the stove, with that I'm confident it isn't going anywhere.
