Luxe Megahorn 2 Stove

[welchyd1]

For those of you that are interested the Megahorn 2 will accept a wood burning stove without melting. I did have to fit a mahoosive heat shield on the top section of my flue though. I had the bottom section glowing red earlier and the heat shield was still only luke warm. I'll take some better pics in the daylight tomorrow.

How do you like the MegahornII. I have been looking for a lightweight lavvu and this was one of the options and around £240 less than the Helsport lavvu light.

To be honest this is the first time I've erected it so I couldn't really say. It is very well made in my opinion. I'm really pleased with it.

Another one for the Megahorn II , bought mine last August and it has been used in anger and has stood up very well, IMHO an excellent value entry level Lavvu and very pleased with the build quality for the money, packs down to around 2.5' long, 10-12'' in Dia and weighs around 4Kg. I have to say i am yet to try my Frontier stove in it as i only got it from Santa a short time period ago. Just got to make a heatshield up for the flue.
Bang on Welchyd looks good buddy!

How is this compared to Golite SL5? I know the golite isn't stove compatible(Mod time?), but it is quite a bit lighter.

Really glad you posted this. I've been looking for a cheap entry into floorless teepee/tents. I'll have to find a cheap wood burning stove to go with it, but I'm glad know now that it will accept it.

Was there much of a gap between the tent and the heat shield? Enough, that is to let rain through?

have you got any pics or plans of the stove as i just got the Luxe Megahorn 2 not long ago and want to put a stove in it

thanks scottforsythe

Here's some more pics in daylight hope this helps the guys wanting to fit a stove in their megahorn. I Will make a cover to go on the top of the heat shield to stop rain coming in. There are no other gaps for rain to come in.

I have no experience of the SL5 sorry bud so I couldn't comment. I have seen tons of pics of them with stoves in though.

Thanks for taking the time to do this thread :thumbup:

It looks a sweet set up if its raining while the stove is lit, I imagine it won't be much of an issue due to the heat and most drops evaporating.

Would you say there's enough room for two adults and a young un + dog? Cheers

Yeah I did think that about the rain but over night when the stove cools down, if the rain was quite heavy I think it would come in quite a bit. I would say definitely enough room. Its approximately 4m round/hexagon. How big is the dog?

He packs down small though

hi mate, just got one of these for xmas. your stove looks the nuts! i havent tried it out yet but was wondering... the inner that comes with the tent, is the ground sheet waterproof? will i need my bivvi bag in it or does it keep the moisture from the ground out?
