Bell Tent Stove through roof, hand-made in the UK

Bell Tent Stove, through roof, handmade in the UK

+ £25 insured shipping to mainland UK

Some of you asked whether we had a stove with the chimney coming out the roof of a Bell Tent like the Tipi Stove we also sell...so, due to popular demand, we have decided to make one!

Pros and cons of a wall flue versus a roof flue:

We sell both options, and also now offer a larger, more powerful, version of the Through the Roof Stove - see our 4kw Bell Tent Stove. So consider these points before deciding which  is best for your needs.

Stove that comes out of the wall - We went to great lenghts to design the Bell Tent Stove that comes out of the wall and these are it's pros:

• You are not making a hole in the roof
• The overhanging roof protects the hole and flashing from the rain
• The flashing doesn't need to be perminatly glued onto the canvas so you can take it off in seconds making the tent much easier to fold up
• You can use the tent with or without the stove without having a hole in the roof (you might not want to take your stove for a warm weekend's camping at a festival)
• Safer for kids with less hot parts in in the tent to grab

Stove that comes out of the roof:

• This option may be better for you if you are going to be setting your tent up more permanently and not just for weekends and festivals
• You are making a hole in the roof but you end up with the stove being more central with better heat distribution than against the wall
• Much better for cooking on the stove as it's not close to canvas and therefore less likely to be covered in fat
• More heat as you also get the heat from the flue that's inside the tent, not just the stove

We hope this helps you make the right decision, and feel free to contact us on 07830 355 993 if you have any quesitons!

We have taken our Tipi Stove and kit and replaced some of the flue with a flashing kit for putting it through the roof of the tent.

This kit contains everything you need to fit it (apart from a pair of scissors):

• 1 x metal plate for the inside of the roof
• 1 x vulcanised rubber flashing for the outside of the roof
• 1 x set of nuts and bolts to permanently attached it to the roof
• 1 x tube of adhesive to bond the whole thing together and stop leaks

Please note that unlike some of the other stoves, this stove does not require the double-skin sheath as:

• The Flue runs further away from the firebox, making the sheath unnecessary
• As heat rises, the sparks/heat moves quickly up the flue
• The sheath can cause leakage around the flue if it rains.

Very similar to our Tipi Stove...only slightly different - it has less height on the flue.  It comes with a rubber flashing and metal plate to help you fix it to the tent (as with the Bell Tent Stove). The chimney will go through one of the main roof panels, slightly towards the side of the tent rather than going straight up through the top of the roof, as with the Tipi Stove or through the side panels on our Bell Tent Stove. 

The flue pipe is very easy to assemble - just by slotting one part on top of another, then fixing it into your stove. Make sure the thicker part of the pipe is the part going through the canvas.

To attach the flue to the tent, all you have to do is cut the hole in the canvas, and feed the flue kit through, putting the rubber flashing on the outside and the metal plate inside. You then permanently seal them together, hence why this stove is for permanent use only as you'll find it hard to un-stick the two once its been done!

All these stoves are handmade in the UK to order so please allow up to 28 working days for delivery.

NB. Disclaimer

We have to put this as you are literally playing with fire.
Bell Tent UK takes no responsibility for the misuse of this product or for any damage caused by using it. Bell Tents from us may not be pre-fireproofed, if you chose not to add this option, so if you feel that is necessary make sure you do it yourself. This stove is a sealed unit, so with some common sense you can protect yourselves. We recommend that you always put a mat or piece of carpet under your stove as sparks will go straight through the groundsheet. Always have a means of putting out a fire within reach and always make sure the fire is put to bed before you are.
 

Our Bell Tent UK Roof Stove is tested and rated to 2.5kw.

This is a good temperature to warm up a tent without becoming a furnace.
Do not use artificial means to make your stove burn hotter (like constantly blowing or fanning the flares). You risk damaging the stove kit and even your tent.

In a small attempt to save trees and resources we no longer include paper instructions with our tents - we have seen too many sets of instructions blowing past at too many festivals. Click below to download the instruction PDF and, if possible, familiarise yourself with them on screen (they are pretty logical and only usually require one read) before going camping and only print them off if you really need to.

We also recommend you check that youíve received all the elements of your purchase when it arrives and familiarise yourself with it before you are standing in a field at the beginning of a 2 week camping holiday. If for some reason an element is missing we can rush one to you but that wonít be much good if youíre planning to sleep in it that night!
