Stoves

To live outside for a long time requires heat. Not to mention the security of being able to get warm, should the accident happen.
There are different ways to get heat, one is to use an open fire or another way is to use a stove.

NORTENT has chosen to develop and manufacture its tents with the possibility of using a stove. So called hottent

Today, NORTENT offers two stoves, a lightweight titanium stove and a stainless steel stove.

Short information

Why not have the possibility of an open fire in the tent as some other manufacturers have?

It is a relevant question, part of it is that smoke spreads in the tent if you use an open fire and in addition there are greater risks with an open fire than in a stove.

Stove in a tent, does it sound dangerous?

There are always risks with fire inside a tent, whether it is from a stove or a gas stove. However, high demands are placed on the tent being well adapted to be used together with a stove

What do you mean by well adapted to use the stove in a tent?

It is easy to throw on a chimney feed-through or take up a hole in the tent fabric for the chimney. But all tents and placements of the implementation, are NOT suitable for using a stove. NORTENT tests its tents very carefully with regard to whether it is possible to use a stove and where the best location for the stove is. All with safety in mind

Stainless

NORTENT's stainless stove is perfect for those who want an efficient heat source in the "base camp". At a hefty 17 kilos (complete with all accessories) it's a hefty piece, but provides incredible warmth and comfort in larger tents where it's ideal for heating and cooking. With its large surface and side shelves, it provides many and well-adapted solutions for heating, cooking and boiling water. Although the stove is relatively heavy, NORTENT has made it small and compact when packed into its accompanying transport bag.

NORTENT's stainless steel stove is designed with NORTENT's own tents in mind. But it can easily be adapted to other tents that are made to use a stove.

The advantage of a steel stove compared to a titanium stove is that it is larger and hotter with better distribution of the heat itself in the tent. The downside is that it is much heavier than the titanium stove that you can carry in your backpack.

The stove is designed with three windows. One at the front and two large windows along the entire sides. Looking at the live flames adds to the atmosphere and leaves you with a nice, peaceful and warm feeling in the tent.

Details

Comes complete with all accessories
Substantial increase in the material (long durability)
Nested pipe
Fits most stove tents
Robust and stylish design

Titanium

Titanium is a perfect substance for making stoves that are light but at the same time very robust and durable.

But even if it is possible to make lighter stoves, it will be at the expense of something, e.g. durability, functionality or safety. An important consideration is the thickness of the material, this will affect things like durability, resistance to warping and robustness. Material that is too thin sacrifices something, thicker material increases the weight.

NORTENTS Titanium stove

Glazed windows on three sides
Displacement of the chimney (easier to use several pans at the same time)
Reinforcements at top and bottom to minimize warping
Packs flat in practical storage/carry bags
Double Spark Protection (With the Extra Top Hat)
Storage shelves that can be used as grill grates (converted to a grill)
Slightly larger dimensions (Larger wood supply = longer burning time and you get up to 39 cm of wood)

Titanium Vs Steel

Titanium is completely non-toxic and without risks for living organisms
Steel is more powerful but wears out faster than titanium
Titanium is not affected by extreme heat / cold
Does not rust / oxidize
45 % lighter than steel
Melting point: Titanium 1668 °C, Stainless steel 1375 – 1530 °C
Gives radiant heat quite directly / cooling takes place quickly thanks to the thin thickness

Security

Let's talk about SECURITY when it comes to using a stove in a tent.

Why is it NOT appropriate to use a stove in all tents?

The tent, the stove and its design must be manufactured so that dangerous situations do not arise. To name a few dangerous situations that have occurred when you have used a stove in your tent.

The chimney has bent from the wind
The tent canvas has caught fire
Rod/rods have given way due to heat development
Carbon monoxide has spread in the tent
Burns to people/equipment
Sleeping system/equipment has caught fire
Soot fire
The hatch has opened
The stove has given way

These are some things that have happened that we have seen and read about on the internet. All of this can be avoided by the tent and stove manufacturer knowing and understanding these risks. It takes time, understanding and extensive field testing to be able to minimize these risks.

It is NOT for NOT, NORTENT is one of the leading companies in the world in developing and manufacturing tents designed to be used together with stoves

NORTENT can test their tents up to 9 months in the field before releasing them on the market, to ensure safety.
