For those who get out into nature not only in summer, but also in winter, in the off-season, the problem of heating the tent is acute. If you don’t want to go to the store and buy a finished stove, then you can easily make it yourself.

Collapse

Models of stoves in demand for the manufacture work on:

• gas;
• alcohol;
• firewood.

Each stove has its own advantages and disadvantages, season of use, fuel consumption. Let's consider each in more detail.

Gas infrared

In this method, we will tell you how to assemble such an installation yourself, because. building an infrared burner is very difficult.

Materials and tools

For manufacturing you will need:

When choosing a ceramic heating pad, it is better to give preference to small models - gas is consumed more economically. The peculiarity of infrared heating is that it heats objects, not air, so if possible it is good to have a stand for a heating pad that will allow you to direct energy.

Manufacturing instructions

The diagram clearly describes the principle of operation of the stove. The gas-air mixture allows to achieve high temperature with the lowest risk of fire.

Principle of operation

Essential elements

1. Insert the nozzle into the connection hole of the infrared burner.
2. Fasten the retaining ring on the reverse side.
3. Put a clamp on the oxygen hose to prevent gas leakage.
4. Connect to the nozzle, tighten the clamp with a screwdriver.
5. Connect the gas cylinder to the hose, also using a clamp.
6. To light the heater, you need to bring a match to a ceramic heating pad. It is forbidden to set fire to the gas near the nozzle. Fuel can be propane, argon and natural gas. When changing fuel, you need to change the type of injector. The gas tourist stove is ready.

Type of infrared gas stove for a tent

Operating rules

A camp stove for a tent should not only heat the space, but also serve as an assistant in cooking.

Infrared heaters are not designed for this, but craftsmen have learned how to cook on such tiles:

• It is necessary to put the heating pad with the radiating side up, put two stones or bricks on the sides.
• Put metal rods or skewers on the bricks.
• Put dishes on top to cook food, warm up canned food.

A 200g can is enough for 2 hours of work, after which you need to replace it with a new one. The gas cylinder must be vertical. It is forbidden to leave the stove unattended. Ventilate the tent from time to time. The surface temperature of the ceramic heater is 800-900 degrees.

From a jar of alcohol

The debate about how best to use alcohol to heat indoors or outdoors will never end. This does not prevent tourists from all over the world from using it as fuel for mini-stoves for tents. The weight and dimensions of this design are insignificant, it is convenient to take it on a hike.

Materials and tools

To make a homemade camping stove you will need:

1. Any tin can.
2. Nail or awl for making holes.
3. Alcohol 96%. Vodka won't work.
4. Metal cover
5. Knife and scissors for smooth cutting of cans.
6. Ruler.

Manufacturing instructions

For the manufacture of an alcohol stove are not needed complex schemes, the principle is simple and accessible, as are the materials.

From a beer can:

Operating rules

Such a burner must be ignited in a special way:

Such camp stoves for tents are used in the off-season, the design will not give a large increase in temperature, but it will allow you to heat up canned food and boil water. The stove will boil one liter of water in 9 minutes at home, it will take longer in camping conditions, depending on the ambient temperature.

From a wood-fired pipe

If the campaign is planned for the winter, you can not do without a serious heater. Any oven should not be left unattended, and especially wood-burning. Purchased models best ovens in the tent are equipped with a spark arrester and an additional chamber for the complete combustion of gases. V makeshift designs additional cameras are hard to make.

If you bring the chimney out not vertically, but at an angle of 30 degrees, you can increase the efficiency by 30%. A simple mesh in the chimney is used as a spark arrester. Thanks to the installation, you do not have to wait long for heat, the stove heats up the space instantly.

Materials and tools

When making a stove for winter fishing with your own hands, you will need:

• Chimney pipe 200mm.
• Clamp for plugs 200mm - 2 pcs.
• Chimney pipe 80mm, length depends on the height of the tent.
• Plugs 200mm - 2 pcs.
• Clamp 80mm.
• Legs from a tourist chair.
• Tin sheet.

Manufacturing instructions

The diagram is quite general, but shows the principle of operation. The shape of the furnace depends on the available materials and possibilities. If there is no desire to weld parts, you can use the simpler method described below in the instructions. Tourist stoves for tents should be collapsible, light in weight.

Operating rules

The rules of operation are simple:

• The stove must not be left unattended, non-burning materials must be placed under the structure, the chimney pipe must be isolated from the tent. Such a stove will easily heat a 4 * 4m tent.
• After use, allow the metal to cool, pour out the ash, disassemble the furnace into parts for transportation.
• Ventilate the tent, before leaving, check the draft, tightness in safe conditions.
• All openings must fit exactly to avoid smoke leakage.

Do-it-yourself stove for a winter tent is made in a day, and lasts for several years.

Which stove is better to use in summer?

In summer, the stove is needed more for heating and cooking, tea, coffee. There is no point in pulling gas cylinders or wood-burning stoves - heating the tent is not needed.

The best solution would be an alcohol mini-oven for a tent. Light weight, compact dimensions allow each member of the camping trip to take their own homemade stove.

The only drawback in comparison with ready-made branded designs is the inability to transport the stove filled with fuel. But this is not a significant drawback - putting a vial of alcohol in a backpack is not difficult. Furnaces long burning used for winter tents.

Which stove is better to use in winter?

All three types of stove are suitable for a winter tent. Winter fishing involves a long stay at low temperatures, the holes should not freeze, otherwise fishing will not take place. The temperature difference in the tent and outside without heaters will not exceed 2-3 degrees, which is not noticeable at -20C.

• Most often, a long-burning gas infrared heater and a wood-burning stove are used. They provide good heating, increase the temperature in the tent by at least 15-20 degrees. The gas model is suitable as a camp stove for cooking, heats up the space perfectly, compact, lightweight.
• A more economical option would be a wood-burning stove. The steel structure is easy to transport. The folding oven can be quickly mounted and disassembled. If fishing is planned near plantations, forests, there will be no problems with harvesting firewood, otherwise you will have to carry fuel with you. Also, there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in case of leaky fastening of the chimney pipe. Even if a home-made stove for a tent is made according to technology, it is necessary to ventilate. Wood-burning stoves for ice fishing tents are used for large tents, and gas stoves for small ones.

Conclusion

The stove in the tent brings warmth and a delicate aroma of tea. With a huge selection of ready-made models, tourists and fishermen still prefer to make long-burning camp stoves with their own hands.

Each model described above has advantages and disadvantages, although tourist tent stoves do their job no worse than branded expensive ones. A tent without an awning keeps heat worse, but a real tourist will not be stopped by the cold when the soul calls for a hike.

legs

2 folding legs were replaced by 4 removable legs with a nut fastening mechanism.

Also among the improvements:

The edge of the inlet to the combustion chamber now consists of 2 layers of metal. This prevents distortion of the steel during continuous operation;

To reduce the deformation of the cooking surface of the furnace, an amplifier is added to the upper part of the combustion chamber;

Furnace doors of furnaces "Vector" and "Army" are additionally sealed with a fire-resistant sealant.

Autumn, first ice, wilderness, last ice, spring. Every fisherman has a time of hope associated with all these periods, the expectation of a catch, for which he sacrifices comfort. Is it worth the sacrifice? After all, there is an inexpensive light wood-fired camping tourist stove, the design of which will allow you to safely heat the tent, cook the divine soup, and just sleep in the warmth, without thinking about the need to add firewood.

Camping and tourist stoves for tents - keep warm in any weather

The main thing that distinguishes camping, folding stoves is the ability to provide heat on any of the existing available natural resources. That is, dry wood, firewood of any condition, even raw. After all, you are unlikely to have the time and opportunity to conduct gas or look for coal! You will only have the opportunity to use wood as fuel.

It is for winter or autumn (spring) fishing, when dampness or cold drives home, such a camping stove for a winter tent is good for the following reasons:

The design with the use of reflective screens makes the circulation of warm air throughout the volume of the fishing tent.

Protective screens ensure the safety of installation in a small tent.

The ability to clearly and accurately regulate the intensity of burning wood. By simply opening or closing the control device, you can control the combustion process.

If necessary, the mini-stove is extinguished almost instantly, just block the access of oxygen (air) to the combustion zone and wait for the coals to cool.

You will spend the whole night waiting for a bite at one point, or fishing for several fishing spots with the transfer of a tent and our tourist stove without losing comfort and warmth.

When camping, the tent becomes shelter from the weather. It saves from moisture and wind, but in cold weather, even a good sleeping bag will not save you from the cold.

Therefore, lovers of nomadic holidays come up with various mobile heating systems.

Types of heating for tents

What kind tasks should solve heating:

1. Heating and lighting tents in moderate frost without providing sleep. Ideal for fishermen - so that the holes do not freeze. Suitable open fire systems - gas burner, multi-wick candle in a tin can, kerosene lantern « bat» with a heat exchanger. Some fishermen use catalytic heaters - one-time charged aluminum alum chemical heaters (do not give a significant increase in heat).

Photo 1. When installing a metal stove in a tent, you need to take care of a safe chimney.

1. Heating for overnight stays during short trips. A massive metal stainless steel stove, a gas infrared heater with a chimney will do.
2. Heating of tents on firewood during long hikes. The main characteristics are lightness, reliability, absence of carbon monoxide, the ability to use local fuel.
3. Tent heating in extreme conditions of mountain passes. The main thing here is ease and efficiency. Gas burners with a tourist bottle of 5 liters.

Attention! Problem carbon monoxide- the main thing to pay attention to! Only three breaths lead to severe poisoning, loss of consciousness and death! Do not neglect common sense for the sake of momentary comfort.

Tent heating depending on the location of the furnace can be internal and external.

• internal heating requires the removal of combustion products, as well as placing the stove in a cramped space.
• External heating - transfer of temperature from the source of combustion to the tent without the admixture of carbon monoxide.

Is it possible to install an oven-economy?

For a small winter hike, a potbelly stove is suitable from thin steel. It will heat a large tent, and transporting a heavy stove in winter makes it easier to use a sled or drag.

She consists of a firebox and a chimney. The firebox door must provide regulation of the intensity of combustion, the entire structure must be airtight.

Frame ovens gets very hot. On the one hand - a plus, it is used as a camping stove for heating a kettle or food. The downside is the risk of fire. The wall of the tent near the stove should be sheathed with foil insulation, it is better to make the valve at the outlet of the chimney from heat-resistant fabric - a fire hose or a fireman's suit.

Install and heat such an oven simply- retractable legs are installed, the chimney is passed through the valve on the roof, firewood is laid.

Minus - short battery life, opportunity reverse smoke when throwing firewood and strong wind, sparks from a pipe with a strong flame, relatively large weight.

Efficient heating by dry pipe system. Drawing

original and in a tried and tested way heating can serve dry pipe laid through the fire "Finnish candle". If the tent is large, you can pass the pipe into a fire or a smoldering coal pit. This method is only gaining popularity, but outperforms others in simplicity, efficiency, safety and transportability.

Photo 2. Drawing of heating a tent using a dry pipe system. Cold air moves through the chimney, being heated by the fire along the way.

How to make a dry pipe with your own hands: materials and tools

No special tools are required. Enough files for metal, file, sealant made of heat resistant silicone.

It is better to use pipes aluminum rods from a vacuum cleaner and a shackle from a shell bed, which has a figurative shape, which is ideal for installation in a “Finnish candle”. All joints must be tight and open with a noticeable effort.

How the system works. Is it burning for a long time?

Finnish candle - a fire inside a log. It is done like this: log 50-70 cm long splitting, with an ax the middle is chosen and kindling is laid instead. The log is collected and pulled together with wire. The candle is installed above the ground, the draft of burning gases passes through the burning channel. The intensity of combustion is regulated by the lid and the installation height.

You can adapt a Finnish candle for heating a tent, passing the pipe through the burning middle log. The pipe should be with a figurative shape, the log is “dressed” on a vertical section.

Cold air is taken in through the lower horizontal section, heated in a smoldering log and fed through an air duct into the tent.

In severe frosts, the air duct is better insulate with non-combustible basalt wool insulation. Then the heat loss will be minimal.

Advantages this type of heating

• Safety. The firebox is outside the tent, the products of combustion do not mix with the heated air. The possibility of fire or suffocation is practically excluded, and by increasing the lower air duct, we move the air intake away from the combustion source.
• Ease of manufacture. Ready-made tubes connected to sockets are commercially available.
• Transportability. The weight of the entire installation, including the ax, in total 2 kilograms.
• Versatility use. Wherever there is a log of a certain length, you can dilute the Finnish candle. The core of the tree burns better - it has a certain moisture content.
• Duration burning log - 3 to 6 hours depending on thickness. This is quite enough to sleep in the warmth.

What to consider when using dry pipes

In the manufacture of heating a tent from a dry pipe passed through a Finnish candle, a simple fire or a coal pit, the following difficulties may arise:

1. Incorrect pipe diameter. The larger the tent, the larger the diameter of the pipes.
2. Leaks at the joints pipes. Carbon monoxide enters through them. The diameter is selected so as to fit perfectly tightly. There should be no joints inside the fireplace.
3. The air intake is too close to the fire. Ideally, it should be lengthened and taken out of the tent. The air exchange will be ideal, it will save heat.
4. It is better to use as a heating pipe stainless steel 1-2 mm thick. The supply pipes are made of aluminum or thin stainless steel.
5. You can protect the fabric from fire by pulling it between the fire and the tent frozen wet gauze screen.
6. To the fire did not squint and did not fall, it is desirable to support or tie it to a support.

In descriptions of the adventures of geologists, the method of heating a hut with clay pipes is considered a curiosity. However, in the presence of a sealed dry pipe system in this way you can heat a small two or three person tent.

A homemade stove for heating a tent can be used so that tourists can spend the night warm and even in cases where you need to heat a steam room in camping conditions. The author of this model uses it mainly in the off-season at temperatures at not very low temperatures - about minus 5 degrees and only occasionally tested it in frosty conditions when going skiing.

But such a stove (photo below) can be purchased at this Chinese store.

Necessary elements of the stove and materials:
- Pipe made of steel 0.2 mm thick, weight 360 grams. Made from 4 foam cans.
- Chimney made of steel 0.2 mm thick (cover on the pipe to protect against snow or rain on the street), weight 20 grams. It is made from one can of foam, weight 20 grams; an electrode with a diameter of 3 mm was also used.
– Housing made of galvanized steel sheet 0.4 mm thick, weight 1 kg; steel blind rivets 3.2x6 mm.
– Furnace legs made of galvanized steel rods for suspended ceilings, length 1 m, diameter 4 mm, weight 160 grams.
– The passage through the roof of the tent is made of 0.2 mm thick tinned steel, made from the bottom of a can, weight 120 grams.
– Cover made of terpauling (reinforced polyethylene, plus a sling – nylon thread, weight 160 grams.

In general, the weight of the entire tourist stove for the tent was 1.86 kg. Folded size 320x240x150 mm. The stove can be conveniently placed in a lightweight 80 liter backpack.

About the design and features of the stove for the forest

There is an afterburner in the stove, pay attention to the row of rivets on top, this is the riveted partition of the chamber (at a distance of 38 mm from the top, close to the front wall and 26 mm from the back wall). The pipe is at the end of the chamber. The gases go to the back wall, rise into the chamber, then go to the front wall and into the pipe. All passages with a section not less than the section of the pipe. Thanks to the afterburner, the fuel is used more efficiently and sparks do not fly from the pipe. There is no column.

Before using the stove in a tent, you must first heat it outside to completely get rid of the zinc coating. If after that zinc remains in separate places, burn it with a gas burner.
The developer of this tourist mini-stove has been successfully using it since 2009 in tents specially made for the stove, the total operating time by 2012 was about 200 hours. The photo shows a drawing of a tourist stove.

If you are going to spend winter nights in a tent on a hike, then the author does not advise relying only on this stove. It is better to have a sleeping bag with an appropriate comfort temperature. A stove like this one can only dry you and your belongings and create a comfortable temperature in the tent for a short time.

Nevertheless, even with a good sleeping bag, the stove still does not hurt. It makes it much easier in cold weather.
Check out more (up to 40 degrees), with which you can sleep without even hiding under a blanket.
Why is the top of this stove not flat, because it would be possible to cook food on the stove? According to the author of the furnace, the thin flat steel sheet from which the furnace is made deforms somewhat after the first heating. The plane of contact with the bottom of the dish is reduced. To maintain the boiling point of water, you have to overheat the stove, which is dangerous in a small tent. because from its radiation the surrounding things overheat. And it becomes uncomfortable for people in a small tent to be near the stove.

Special tents for the camp stove

For this stove, two tents were made - houses. Three-slope 1.5x2.6 meters, and gable 1.3x2.0 meters. Both tents have high sides of 0.6 m and a height of 1.4 m. The bottom of the gable tent comes unfastened, it is used as a sauna and for winter ski picnics without a bottom with a stove. A gable with a bottom is used to store things and products.
This development can be used as a camp stove for a bath, but only at positive temperatures, better in summer. For a bath, the stove was heated at an outdoor temperature of up to plus 4 degrees.
