Hi, I am looking to invest in a wood burning stove to use in my bell tent. Please could anybody give reviews or advice on the ones that are good without blowing the budget. Don’t mind spending about £500 all in with accessories. I would really prefer one that goes out of the side wall rather than high level in the roof as am thinking this is potentially a leak risk and also don’t particularly want it positioned in the centre of the tent.

Too close to side wall can give problems invite risk to the canvas behind the stove. Some form of insulation between stove and side wall needs to be considered. Have lost one tent and nearly myself this way. Be carefull.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

I have one in my 5m bell tent. I also initially thought that side wall was best but in the end went for a roof vented one. I heard from others that the 90 degree elbow can cause draw problems and are a lot more faff to set up as you have to support the chimney with something other than the stove. I really didn't want draw problems as I was paranoid about carbon monoxide poisoning so went for the simplest option of the vertical flue.

I can only comment on my stove, which is an Outbacker Firebox. The roof vent/flashing is not a leak issue at all IME. It works just fine. However, with uninsulated, single-walled flue pipes you need c. 1m from the top of the stove to the canvas so the flue is long enough to cool down before it touches the flashing kit. This does, as you've mentioned, mean the stove cannot get super close to the side wall - ours is probably about 60-75cm away. With a family of 4 in there, I've not found this to be a space issue. With an insulated flue pipe you could get pretty much as close as you like to the wall but I'm not aware of anyone selling that for the flue bore that stove uses.
