Regular tent with stove jack

[Finner-elk]

I’m curious to see or hear if anyone has modified a basic camping tent to the extend of sowing in a stove jack for late season hunts?
The brand of tent would be great, also adding pictures would be appreciated.
If there are threads on this already feel free to point me in the right direction!

I think the verdict is this is very dangerous due to the flammable nature of most standard tents. That is why you don’t see folks doing it.

Most backpacking tents (really all tents) are a sil-nylon material, as are Kifaru, Seek Outside, and TiGoat tipis. I have a Nemo Pentalite tipi that I have sewn a stove jack into and it's awesome.

You can. The problem, I would think, would be the floor melting.

Looks great! Is your tipi able to be sinched down tighter to the ground? To reduce draft

Yes for sure, I figured ( if I did do it ) that I would cut a hole in the floor and sowe in a seam with the ablility to peg down the edges.

Yes, from September on, I like to keep it tight to the ground to reduce drafts of cold air. I have actually sewn a 6 inch sidewall around the perimeter of the tent which allows for better use of the entire tent footprint.

I have a BPWD stove jack in a Big Agnes Wyoming tent that works really well. It only seems to draw really well though keeping the stovepipe taller (like tipi height almost) and at a narrower 3" diameter also seemingly.

I am not sure if the BA Wyoming tent is still made. A vestibule on a tent like the one below would work well though to put a stove jack in.
