There is hardly anything cozier than spending a cool autumn evening in a tipi tent with a stove. Gather around the stove, prepare your meal on the cooktop, and enjoy the warmth spreading throughout the tent while the cold is only shielded by the cotton tent canvas.
With a stove in your tipi tent, you extend the season by several months. The stove effortlessly warms your tipi tent to a comfortable temperature. However, when outside temperatures drop below freezing, the stoves reach their limits and may struggle to maintain a cozy room temperature. Therefore, in the cold months, we recommend packing warm clothing in addition to the stove.
Glamping Tent with Stove from Amaroq
It is easy to install a wood stove in an Amaroq glamping tent. Our models Medium, Large, XL, XXL and Emperor all come with a pre-cut opening for the chimney, so you don't have to face the nerve-wracking task of cutting the hole yourself.
Furthermore, the tent is reinforced with a fire-retardant material around the opening to a reasonable extent. When you are not using the stove, you can simply close the opening with a cotton flap secured with Velcro.
Is it dangerous?
Precautions should be taken when having a hot stove in a tent. However, there are some types of tents and materials that are better suited for stove installation than others.
The tarp of our tipi and glamping tents is made from a cotton blend consisting of polyester and cotton. Cotton is naturally flame-retardant, while the opposite is true for polyester. Therefore, it is not recommended to use a stove in a pure polyester tent.
This is different with polyester/cotton tents. The cotton blend from which our tent is made requires extremely high temperatures before the tent transitions from melting to burning. If it happens that an ember falls from the chimney onto the tarp, it is not enough to ignite the tarp.
In the worst case, you get a small hole, and if the ember is small enough, it remains a stain. To prevent embers from falling from the chimney, you can use a spark arrestor that catches any embers rising through the chimney.
