So I recently purchased a hot tent and stove, and during my research into people using these, I noticed a lot of people cooking directly inside the tent on the wood stove. Is this a common thing? It would seem to me like it could be problematic, but as I researched it became obvious it is a common occurrence. Does anyone here happen to have experience or insight into this?

Cooking in a hot tent?
--------------------------------------------------------------
And lungs are poisoned and shoulders bowed,
In the smothering reek of mill and mine;
And death stalks in on the struggling crowd?
But he shuns the shadow of the oak and pine?

Cooking inside the tent directly on the stove is a common occurrence. I do it all the time and have for years.

A friend of mine set up a wall tent off the Calkins brook road awhile back for deer hunting, They did all there cooking in it on the wood stove, They went out hunting one morning an came back an found there camp an tent destroyed. A mother an cubs did a number on it.
When we set ours up we put a tarp over the tent an make a porch an set up a table an cook out there.

I do..it helps if your pan fits inside to speed cook. Otherwise you need a bigger fire (more time on wood collection or use biobricks) and it can get too hot inside the tent. Cook much smaller portion sizes too so it cooks easier and you eat smaller size while still hot. I also bring a propane green bottle for lantern and stove top..very convient to use when you would rather spend time to hike, fish, hunt..Last edited by GreenFrog; 10-16-2021, 10:30 PM.

I don't cook on the woodstove, for what it's worth. It doesn't seem very efficient to me, and I'm a little paranoid about food smells getting into the tent. The most I've done is heat up some water on it, and even that takes time compared to a regular camp stove.

It's quite common in the camping community to cook inside a hot tent using a wood stove. It can provide warmth while preparing food. However, safety is a big concern due to potential fire hazards and carbon monoxide buildup. Proper ventilation and caution are crucial to mitigate risks.Last edited by Wiwagner; 11-21-2023, 01:50 PM.
