on-to-berlin Posted February 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2016 What is the way to set up the belly stove for heating the pyramid tent? Is it simply to feed the pipe end through the top of the tent once the cover is taken off? I looked at the old manuals of tent and tent pitching as well as the stove manuals but none show how to set up the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268th C.A. Posted February 10, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 10, 2016 Thats how its done...make sure the tent & pipe are high enough that the pipe does not touch the tent roof & set in on fire...common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellumbill Posted February 10, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 10, 2016 There was a steel triangular top to the tent that was set there when using the stove and pipe to vent the pipe safely and provide protection from the elements coming in through the hole in the roof. I had a repro many years back. Very best Bill K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on-to-berlin Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted February 10, 2016 That is intersting. I saw original pictures that looked as if the top is made metal. how do they look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvttab Posted February 11, 2016 Share #5 Posted February 11, 2016 I've got a spec drawing somewhere and will see if I can scan it at work this week. PM me or send me an email. More than happy to share. A buddy of mine have a sheet metal guy reproduce it for him. If memory serves me right it cost around $150 but was constructed of a heavy gauge metal. If I can't scan it, I can at least take digital pictures of it for anybody interested. I need to get one made for my tent but have not gotten around to it yet. The actual design is a four-sided pyramid, like the tent. The top of the pyramid is flat with a hole in the center where it is attached onto the center pole. One side of the heat shield has an oblong hole where the flue goes through. Take care,Tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
