Alakanak Tent stove pipe size?

[Chuck Stielstra]

Just set up my Alakana 12x12 tent, but it appears I may need a larger stove pipe than 4" ... I can't find an answer from
Cabela's. Does anybody here know if should put in a 5"?

i dont now if this will help but i have the bighorn 3 and pretty sure it was a 6" pipe i jammed in mine last year, it was tight but it went, when get home i can measure my stove pipe but pretty sure its 6

Hey, thank you, Dalen88. I can't remember what made me think I needed a 4" pipe, but I can see that hole could accommodate a 6" . The learning curve is still pretty vertical.

There is no reason whatsoever that you can't use a smaller pipe than the hole.

Not if the flap rolls up correctly above the hole.

I have a camp chef wood stove and it fits it perfectly not sure of the pipe size but it’s a nested pipe.

Exactly...I have been doing it my entire married life. And I don't even own a stove.
