I’m working on a diy tent/stove combo for a tipi that is relatively tall at 8’2. Almost all the designs I’ve seen have put the stove jack right near the middle of the tent with a stove pipe sticking out a foot above the peak to avoid burning your tent with embers.
My question is this: can I get away with putting my jack lower in the tent wall, using a shorter stove pipe (say 5 feet), and running a spark arrestor? I think I would prefer the layout with stove off to the side, plus I would save significant weight and cost with the short pipe. Is this a terrible idea??
