Stove in a tent for winter fishing: the best gas models, wood-fired, diesel fuel

Winter fishing is a special philosophy. Yes, fishing in the winter, especially
at night, is not the most comfortable activity, but no vicissitudes of the weather will keep a real fan of the angler within four walls. In addition, today
there are many options for heating a winter fishing tent . A mobile autonomous tent oven is a key attribute of a fisherman’s equipment for arranging a comfortable life in extreme fishing conditions.
The stove, whether it is wood or gas, will provide the minimum comfort that will allow you to think about fishing, and not about how to warm your hands and legs [/ caption]

Why does a fisherman need a stove for winter fishing

The specificity of ice fishing includes a long period of passive action. The angler sometimes needs to wait for a bite for hours. Even a zero temperature with high humidity and wind threatens frostbite, especially if it’s frosty outside. A shelter heated by an oven will not only create comfortable conditions for the fisherman himself, but will also protect the hole from freezing. The fisherman will not have to scare away cautious fish by scooping up ice. Prolonged exposure to frost also requires hot food. The stove will provide them with the fisherman. As well as will give an opportunity to dry wet clothes. It is especially important to use this or that type of stove during night winter fishing in a
tent . Scale functionality:

• heating;
• lighting;
• visibility on the ice for rescuers, snowmobiles, for oneself, who has gone to check the girders;
• preparation and heating of tea and food;
• drying clothes and shoes;
• ice bath;
• snow furnace for water supply.

What stoves are used to heat a tent in winter

Heaters for extreme conditions have increased autonomy and performance. Given the geographic fishing grounds, an important criterion is the availability of fuel for its operation. There are several types of stoves for heating winter tents:

• gas;
• liquid fuel;
• wood-burning.

The amount of fuel consumption is important. The stove should have adequate autonomy, since being a few kilometers from the coast it is not reasonable to lug cans of gasoline or armfuls of firewood. It is necessary to select the fuel that is as easy as possible to get not far from the reservoir, or deliver it to its shore.
A winter tent is a reliable protection from wind and snow, but in severe frost it will not save a fisherman from the cold, additional heating is needed. The feasibility of choosing a stove depends on many factors:

• destination;
• weather conditions;
• the way the equipment is delivered to the parking lot;
• the size and type of shelter;
• length of stay on ice;
• financial capabilities of the fisherman.

On day fishing with a little frost, paraffin candles or an alcohol lamp are enough. These improvised means are light, compact and affordable, and after combustion, space in the backpack is also freed up. True, the heat transfer is rather weak, the efficiency of one candle is only 40 W. Fishermen are resourceful people, they make large-scale burners on their own. But there is a danger of open fire, it is always necessary to keep them in sight, which means that there is not a step out of the tent, which is not very convenient.

A more comfortable stay in a tent in winter will be provided by wood-burning stoves, lamps, burners, tiles, stoves. They will quickly warm the air of the shelter in frost down to -15 ° C. Modifications are different – from primitive to advanced. The advantage of all models is their compact size and light weight, the ability to heat food. The space is heated in a few minutes. There are also many disadvantages:

• gasoline and diesel models, as well as diesel fuel stoves, smoke , have a specific smell, are unreliable and laborious to maintain;
• gas heaters : the possibility of freezing of liquefied gas at low temperatures, the cylinder requires heating.

During combustion, oxygen is absorbed and the toxic gas CO is formed. It is odorless and colorless, so as not to burn out, a constant flow of fresh air into the tent is needed. Ideal if it has ventilation holes.

Advice!! Before using the heater, check the functionality and safety of the tent material. Place the burner 50 cm from the walls.

Often winter fishermen stay for fishing with an overnight stay. During which it is necessary to cook food, dry clothes, sleep. During sleep, there is no way to monitor the heating device, and the correct safe stove will not only preserve health, but also life. Mini ovens will provide uninterrupted safe operation in extreme frosts. There are the simplest home-made specimens – wood-burning “stoves”, or complicated with afterburners and spark extinguishers, as well as purchased stoves for heating tents – infrared, catalytic, liquid fuel (gasoline, diesel, diesel fuel), battery type, generators. Heat exchangers are added to all types, which, with the help of a fan, disperse warm air inside the tent, and also remove carbon monoxide.

The functionality is constantly being improved, but the ideal option has not yet been invented. Any heater has its drawbacks. For fishermen who have doubts about the right choice, there are tents with built-in ovens.

Important! When heating your tent, keep in mind that there is ice and a snow cushion under your feet. Use special pads under the stove so as not to “float away”. From improvised means use fiberglass, asbestos blanket, isolon. The metallized material also serves as a reflector of heat waves.

How to choose a gas heater for heating a tent on fishing and rest

Portable mini ovens operate from cylinders with liquid propane-butane. Liquefied gas is a more economical and lighter fuel, which is why anglers use it more often. From the cylinder, the mixture enters the device, where it is mixed with atmospheric oxygen. When ignited, a flame ignites, which heats the tent room. Models differ in design, power and functionality. There are unsafe open flame burners in which combustion products are released into the air. They are equipped with a cooking zone. The models are lightweight, compact, have good power indicators, economical gas consumption. Such models are relevant for long-term walking to the place of fishing, due to their compactness and lightness, but not all are provided for overnight stays. They differ in functionality, shape and weight of the burner and the method of connection with the cylinder.Infrared gas heater for winter fishing tent: https://youtu.be/dT3C1Ee6JMI

There are other models, supplemented with a fan or heating tenn.

Catalytic Tent Furnaces

The next type of gas ovens for heating tents, due to the fact that they work with a closed flame. In these designs, pressurized gas is fed into an air chamber where it is oxidized with oxygen. At the outlet through the diffuser, it passes to a ceramic or metal plate. Piezo ignites the gas mixture. When heated, the plate emits infrared waves that heat objects. The air heats up from touching them. The higher the power of the device, the faster the tent will heat up.
These models are safe in terms of the amount of harmful combustion impurities, but combustion is impossible without the supply of fresh air. They differ in the method of connection to the cylinder: separate (using a hose) and combined.

Wood burning stoves for winter tents

The wood-burning stoves for winter fishing have a special design. They consist of a firebox, smoke exhaust pipes and additional parts that provide the necessary functionality. The body is made of thin sheet metal, so it heats up quickly and actively gives off heat. The material from which the stove is made plays an important role. The flat parts are used as a hob. Special grates help to dry clothes and not get burned. The oven requires special care. An open fire is a source of fire, therefore a spark arrester is included. The oven cannot be used without this part. The incandescent body is also a source of danger. Its stability is one of the main selection criteria. Pipes provide traction in the furnace. These are bulky parts and they need at least 2.5 meters, so even when folded, the oven takes a decent size.
The choice depends on the volume of the shelter, its configuration, and the availability of fuel near the parking lot. It is optimal if the tent is equipped with ventilation holes and a window with a special non-combustible insert for the chimney to avoid material ignition from the heated pipe. Today it will not be difficult to buy a suitable oven, and there are many drawings for self-production on the network. Sibtermo winter tent furnace review: https://youtu.be/99E3HE_yZmQ
