Stove jack on a kodiak 8x9. Tested with diy ammo can stove. Works great. Constructed own stove jack and followed Rick white’s video instructions.
Instead of sewing stove jack directly into tent, Velcro was sewed onto tent so that a stove jack, or screen mesh, or a rain flap can be attached to tent depending on conditions.
Used basic, brother sewing machine with thicker needle. Sewing was the most intimidating part, but simpler than what it seems. Practicing on spare/scrap parts helped.
Smaller Woodstove is sufficient at keeping tent at comfortable temperatures while outside temperatures are in the 20’s. Smaller stove is also best for two people in 8x9. Larger stove in picture would only work with one person. Two would be cramped.
Larger stove:
Box dimensions
H- 10 inches
L- 18 inches
W- 9 inches
H of ground- 11.5”
smaller stove
H- 9 inches
L- 12 inches
W- 7 inches
H off ground- 7.5”
Still need to winter canoe trip with it to see how gear does in canoe. Should work out.
