Install a Volcano Flerbränslekamin 15 in a size 15 Tentipi Adventure tipi: place it on a heat-safe base, route the chimney through the tent outlet, check ventilation, and run a safe first burn.
Quick answer
Set up the Volcano Flerbränslekamin 15 only in a Tentipi Adventure tipi in size 15, because the complete set is matched to that tent size. Place the stove on a heat-safe base with clear space around it, route the chimney through the tent's designed outlet, and confirm ventilation before you light it. Run a short first burn with water nearby, and never leave the stove unattended while it is burning.
Before you start: tent, fuel and clearance
The Volcano Flerbränslekamin 15 is supplied as a complete set for Tentipi Adventure tipis in size 15, so start by confirming your tent is that model and size. The stove can run on diesel, kerosene or wood, and fossil-free diesel is a practical low-smoke choice when you want to avoid carrying firewood. Decide your fuel before installation, because the fuel you choose affects how you store it, how you refuel and how much ventilation you need.
Clear the floor area where the stove will stand and keep sleeping bags, inner tents and loose clothing well away from the stove and chimney. If you use a floor in the tent, check that the stove will sit on a heat-resistant surface rather than directly on the fabric. Have a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water within reach before the first burn.
Route the chimney through the tent outlet
Feed the chimney sections through the tent's designed stove outlet rather than cutting or improvising a new opening. Keep the chimney as straight and vertical as the tent allows, and check that every joint is fully seated so smoke cannot leak into the living area. The top of the chimney should clear the tent fabric with enough margin that hot sparks and exhaust cannot reach the canvas.
If the wind is strong, orient the outlet and chimney so the prevailing wind does not drive smoke back down into the tipi. Recheck the chimney after the tent has been pitched for a while, since canvas can shift as it settles.
Check ventilation and carbon monoxide risk
A stove burning diesel, kerosene or wood consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide, so ventilation is not optional. Keep the tent's vents open according to the manufacturer's instructions and never seal the tipi completely while the stove is lit. A battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm is a cheap safeguard in any canvas tent with a stove.
Teach everyone in the tent where the vents are and how to open them fully. If anyone feels drowsy, gets a headache or notices unusual smoke, put the fire out, open the tent and get fresh air immediately.
Fuel-specific checks before lighting
For diesel or kerosene, fill the stove's tank outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, never overfill it, and wipe up spills before the stove goes inside. Store fuel containers outside the living area and away from the stove. For wood, use dry, split logs that fit the firebox and keep the fuel supply clear of the stove body.
Do not mix fuels in the same burn, and do not add liquid fuel to a stove that is already hot. Follow the stove's own lighting and shutdown sequence rather than improvising, and keep the manual with the stove for reference.
Step-by-step safe stove setup
- Confirm the tent is a size 15 Adventure model: The Volcano Flerbränslekamin 15 set is made for Tentipi Adventure tipis in size 15, so check the tent label or model before unpacking the stove. Checkpoint: if your tent is another size or series, stop and confirm the correct stove set before installing.
- Prepare a heat-safe stove position: Clear a level area, keep the stove away from tent walls, inner tents and stored gear, and place it on a heat-resistant base rather than directly on the floor fabric. Common mistake: placing the stove too close to the canvas or leaving clothing within reach of the hot body.
- Install the chimney through the designed outlet: Assemble the chimney sections, pass them through the tent's stove outlet, and seat every joint firmly so the chimney is as straight and vertical as possible. Checkpoint: tug each joint gently and confirm the chimney top clears the tent fabric before lighting.
- Open ventilation and set up a CO alarm: Open the tent's vents as instructed, keep them open while the stove is lit, and place a battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm inside the living area. Common mistake: sealing the tipi against the cold and forgetting that a lit stove needs a continuous air supply.
- Fill and check the fuel according to type: For diesel or kerosene, fill the tank outdoors without overfilling and wipe up spills; for wood, use dry split logs that fit the firebox and keep spare fuel away from the stove. Checkpoint: never refuel a hot stove, and never mix fuel types in one burn.
- Run a short supervised first burn: Light the stove following its own lighting sequence, stay with it until the burn is stable, and watch for smoke leaking from joints or exhaust rolling back into the tent. Common mistake: lighting and walking away, or ignoring smoke that indicates a blocked or badly seated chimney.
- Shut down and cool before packing: Let the stove burn out or shut it down as the manual describes, then wait until the stove and chimney are completely cold before touching or dismantling them. Checkpoint: store fuel separately and check the chimney and stove for soot or damage before the next use.
