Well having taken the plunge we bought a Tentipi Safir 9 and I'm trying to undo 30 years tent fire safety drilled into me over 30 years.

Does anyone have any practical advice so having an open fire in a Tentipi?. I'm thinking start small and work ?

I was thinking of using a small BBQ as a test first. I've a spare household fire/carbon monoxide detector. I'm just interested on the safe minimum of ventilation that'd required before people start to fall asleep.

I wouldn't know on ventilation but wouldn't consider going to sleep with an open fire burning in my tent

How about a frontier stove? We camped opposite a tentipi last week and it looked fab with the flue coming up through the top. Have to admit to feeling very envious.

Thanks we have a wood burner for the Tentipi (Eldfell Pro 9), but I was more interested in the safety of an open fire/BBQ.

Tentipi responded to me and I posted the useful bits on a separate post..
