Best wood burning tent stoves – my list

Here are the stoves ordered by weight from lighter to heavier:

---

What kind of camping tent stoves are included in the list

• Obviously, all the tent stoves in the list are for wood burning. But here you have a huge difference regarding the weight, so you have fully collapsible and backpack-portable (but not backpacking) stoves that can be carried short distances, as well as heavy stoves that need a car for transportation.
• Regarding the material, the stoves in the list are built from any of the following materials: titanium, stainless steel, and steel. This affects the weight of course.
• All of them are with the pipe that connects to the stove on its top surface. So they are suitable for a pipe jack on the tent’s roof. But for some of them, you can order 45 or 90 degrees pipe sections and direct them through a pipe jack on the side wall.
• All of them are described in detail in my separate full reviews. Below I give only a few basic facts.

Why would you need a wood burning tent stove?

There are three major reasons for having a wood-burning stove in the tent:

• Heating: I guess this should be obvious. Typically, tents are not great insulators. If it is cold outside, it will be almost the same inside. In a small tent, your body heats the area but in a larger tent, this makes no difference. So this is about basic comfort.
• Cooking: The stoves presented here are all with a flat cooktop, and some even have extensions (trays) for a larger cooking area. So you have both heating and cooking facilities combined.
• Drying wet stuff: You know how it can be in the camp in wet conditions. Now combine this with cold so you can imagine. Some of the stoves have folding racks that can be used to dry socks and gloves. Otherwise, just pass a string in the tent and attach your larger items and they will be dry for you in the morning. This is essential and don’t underestimate the need for dry clothes.

How to choose your wood burning tent stove

There are several factors to consider:

The weight

The differences in the weight are enormous as you realize from the list above, but there are essentially two groups: i) backpack-portable stoves, and ii) those that need a car for transportation. If you plan to use the stove with the car, then the weight is not so crucial, better focus on the features and the price.

The pipe diameter & pipe jack

You will notice that the pipes are in the range of 2.5 – 5 inches. So bear this in mind if you already have a pipe jack integrated in your tent. If this is not so, you can choose any of the mentioned stoves and make the pipe jack yourself.

The pipe diameter is usually equivalent to the burning power, the bigger the diameter the better burning power. So consider the Timberline Package as the first choice if the power is your priority.

Accessories

Some brands have a long list of accessories with their wood stoves. I have discussed this in my text on how to choose a wood-burning camping stove. It is surprising to see how many useful elements you can have.

So you can have a camping oven in at least two variants, to use on the cooktop, or attached to the pipe. Then there are several variants of the water reservoirs, various elbow-type pipe sections, and lots of other stuff. The Winnerwell stoves are champions regarding the possible accessories, but see also the Shasta Vent accessories list.
