OVERVIEW:

STOVE INFORMATION FOR DYNEEMA® SHELTERS:
Dyneema® will not burn or propagate a flame however it does have a lower melting point. Due to the lower melting point, we recommend you do NOT use anything that inhibits sparks from moving away from your tent such as a rain cap. We also do not recommend burning duraflame logs, pitchy wood or accelerants that can create a lot of soot. Use a spark arrestor.
When using a wood stove in your Dyneema® tent, please be aware of the potential risks of heat damage. Dyneema, while incredibly strong and lightweight, is not heat-resistant and can melt or weaken when exposed to high temperatures. Prolonged heat from a stove or chimney, or direct contact with sparks or embers, can cause irreversible damage to the tent fabric, compromising its integrity and performance.
To minimize risks:
Always use a stove jack and heat-resistant barriers where the chimney passes through the tent.
Maintain proper clearance between the stove, chimney, and tent walls.
Monitor the stove constantly and ensure adequate ventilation.
Dyneema® tents are a significant investment, and heat damage is not covered under warranty. For your safety and to protect your tent, we recommend exercising extreme caution.

INTRO TO HOT TENTS:
The most common questions we get about hot tents are:
- How do you not burn the tent down?
- The stove jack is a high temp fiberglass material rated to several thousand degrees. The tent material never touches the hot pipe. You can get pinholes from floating embers, but a small dab of silicone seals the pinhole and doesn't hurt the shelter.
- How does a floorless shelter work in wet weather?
- Really darn well. Don't pitch in a depression obviously, but the ground inside dries out quickly, and it's super convenient to just walk in with muddy shoes (or dogs) and not worry about getting your floor dirty.
- What about condensation?
- It's single wall, there will be condensation in some conditions. Liners help a lot, as do stoves. Mostly you just have to learn to manage it. Read 5 Ways to Manage Condensation in Seek Outside Tents
- What about carbon monoxide?
- It's truly not a concern. We include a peak vent, plus the shelter will draw air through the zipper and under the sod skirt. If you're still concerned, leave a door unzipped 8" or so at the bottom to allow more venting.
