Need a tent for winter camping or for all seasons in general? If so, check this list with best tents with a stove jack, impressive canvas and synthetic structures built ready for wood-burning stoves.
What is in the list
Regarding the materials: You will see that the list includes both canvas and synthetic tents. Canvas tents are normally suitable for all seasons. This is because the canvas is breathable and it creates a cool atmosphere in a warm-weather climate. It also provides a bit of insulation and this is what makes it suitable for a cooler environment. But these tents come ready for wood-burning stoves so you can use them in extreme winter conditions as well.
Regarding the style: The list includes cabin tents, bell-shaped tents, and dome-style tents.
Regarding the frame: You will see instant tents, framed tents, and single-pole tents.
Regarding the stove jack design: You have tents with one or two stove pipe jacks. Some have them on the roof and some also on the side walls. The latter can be used with this VidaLibre Camping Stove.

11. Russian Bear Winter Tent With Stove Included
Here you have a dome-style tent, and this is also an instant setup type of a particular type. It works like this: you unfold the tent and then enter it and spread it from inside just like an umbrella. In fact, you have a pole in the center that has the same purpose as the pole in an umbrella, so that you slide the structure with roof poles along it.
This unusual design is for extreme weather conditions, and the tent comes with a wood stove included. You have a pipe jack on the roof with a heat-resistant layer around, to pass the pipe.
When the tent is open and is standing on its legs, you simply unscrew that central pole and put it aside until you take the tent down, and this is then done in seconds. See how it is done in this video – it is in Russian, it doesn’t matter just watch and enjoy, one girl is setting the tent up on her own:
There are windows on the tent and they all are with 4 layers; so you have a mesh and a panel in the inner tent, and again a translucent solid layer and a panel on the external waterproof shell. The door is yet another invention, it is a hinged door of a particular type, but you do not have to use it, you can use the normal zippered panel instead.
The tent is a round shape and you have an 11.4 ft (3.5 m) diameter, which gives around 102 ft² (9.6 m²) of the floor area.

So how to choose one of these camping tents with stove jacks
Ease of use
If you plan to change your camping spot frequently, then it is best to go for some of the instant or bell-shaped tents. The latter are single-pole constructions and one person can set them up easily. So framed tents should not be your first option, but there is more to that, see the next item.
Free-standing or not
In the case of frozen ground, the mentioned bell-shaped tents are not the best option because they must be staked properly. Framed tents are always freestanding and this should be your first option.
Weight & packed size
Most of the tents here are very heavy and bulky, but there are differences so it makes sense to check each of them in detail. But these are car camping tents so you are not supposed to carry them long distances.
Ventilation
Canvas tents are normally breathable, and you have seen also that many of them come with extra floor and roof vents. So these are usually the best-ventilated options. This may be crucial when you have wood or coal burning in the tent.
Final thoughts
So this was my list of best tents with a stove jack, it will be updated whenever I find a tent suitable for including it to the list. This is why you might want to bookmark this text and check from time to time.
Obviously, these tents are ready to use with wood-burning tent stoves, and if you need one of such stoves, please check my separate list with some great models.
Thank you for reading. Check also our separate text on how to heat a tent. Please use the comment box below in case of questions or comments. I wish you a nice day.
A chimney resting on the ground and with a clamp on the chimney under a stove or roof jack supporting a square tarp as a centre pole is so simple but not used by any of the tents you have listed. A pole support keeping the tarp above a persons head in each corner at midpoint between centre and tent corner. No doors are needed because each side can be lifted for entry or ventilation. A stove with inside baffle can hang on the chimney. I have been experimenting with centre pole chimneys for years. It is a concept that works so well but must be so radical to be accepted. I am 82 and the chimney centre pole idea might die with me.
Thank you Arlen, perhaps contacting some manufacturers would be a good idea. It would be good to see a photo if you have.
Have you any idea when the Russian system will be available it would be my first choice
It has been around with interruptions all the time. Currently, I do not have any information about it.
