best and cheapest place to get a bell tent stove & flue, or diy flue

[cumbrian_pete]

Iv got a 4m soulpad genie bell tent with a flue hole ready for a stove to go straight in, and i was wondering if anybody knows a cheap place to get the stove and flue from, i dont really want a frontier stove as the legs seem a bit large on them creating less space in the tent, but iv never actually seen a frontier stove in a bell tent, i just thought the legs may be a problem. Also i was wondering has anyone made a DIY flue for their stove?

thanks pete

I've seen the blaze from soulpad and it is a very nice bit of kit, I just haven't seen cheaper.

Google Windy Smith Wendy and it will take you to the website of the chap that made the original stove that Soulpad bought from him and copied.
Jon at the Windy Smithy will supply all you need at a good price.. He is a nice guy who got ripped off by a big business. He makes some cracking stoves

Stuey do you have a link to the ripping off, so I can read up on what happened please ? PM me if needs be. Cheers.

Thanks, iv had a look, great website, lovely stoves, i like the blacksmiths trademark imprinted on the top of the stove, good finishing touch. I just want to try and avoid spending so much on a flue kit, there as much as the stove.

Pete,

I use a frontier stove in my 4m bell tent not an issue. Still enough space for 2 adults using camp cots even room to let the Labrador stay inside

Google sheet steel stove instructables. I've just had one built by a friend and it'd be about the same cost as a frontier, but more kW. I have a 5m

Hi Cromm, no links. I had story from the horses mouth when I was chatting to him at the scythe fair about 3 or 4 years ago. He was understandably upset.
