bugs11 -If your stove pipe runs through the roof of your tent, thereis something else that I would suggest you do with your stovepipe that will help to keep water or snow from entering around the silicone ring in your stove jack. Go to your local home improvement/hardware and get a piece of all thread that is about two incheslonger than the width of your stovepipe. I used 3/8", butchoose whatever you prefer. Then with your stove installed in the tent push the tent roof up at the stove jack so that the roof is"tented up" higher than the surrounding roof and mark your pipe where it passes thru the roof.After uninstalling the pipedrill thepipe where you previously markedand install the all thread with two or three nuts on the outside of each side of the stove pipe. Reinstall the pipe. Now the all thread will raise the roof around the stove jack higher than the surrounding tent roof forcing any rain/snow to run away from the opening.
