Coln18 has the spark arrestor which you can guy off so no wobbling at allHas anybody sussed a way to stop the chimney wobbling ?
A quick question Frontier owners please...
I have just ordered one and plan to eventually use it in my canvas bell-tent with the flue fitted - do you think I would need more flue sections to get a good height above the tent on the outside? It is a 4/6 person Bell. Roof height in the centre is about 2.5 m.

Don't you normally fit them in bell tents so that the flue exits via a silicone grommet halfway up the roof, rather than out of the very top, so that flue height is lower?
I hope not mate as i have the same setup. Will be fitting mine towards the end of the week so if no-one else chimes in will let you know then.
Yes, I had a good test of my Frontier stove and flue last week - I had about 9ft of flue going out of the top hat in my Helsport lavvu, with the Frontier stove spark arrestor. The spark arrestor does a very good job and caught nearly all the black bits and embers rising up the flue. I didn't observe anything landing on the lavvu at all, although I was using good quality hard wood. I reckon a more resinous soft wood might have thrown up more stuff. Good luck with the first firing.
used mine about seven times now, with both good quality hardwood and more resinous soft wood and never had any problems with embers due to the spark arrestor, would recommend anyone buying a frontier stove to buy a spark arrestor with it as well, also sorts out the wobbly chimney problem as the spark arrestor comes with three guy lines to sort the wobbly problem out.
thanks for the review - quite fancy one of these for my shed...
