Install a stove jack onto a canvas tent without one
I'd like to buy a kodiac canvas tent but they don't come with stove jacks.
Not being handy at all, is there any company or store type where I could take the tent to and they could put the stove jack in for me. I know cabela's sells tents with stove jacks but they are way way out of my price range.

The problem with using a a stove inside a tent that is not designed for one, is that it will lack the fire retardation treatment on the canvas, and therefore be more liable to catch on fire.
A: These tents are not fire retardant and should you choose to install a stove Jack somebody could be seriously injured. I guess we care about people. That's what's wrong with us :-) there are plenty of tents out there with stove kits. I'm sure you'll find a perfect fit for your needs. Was this answer helpful?

A: Unfortunately, due to Fire Hazards, we would not recommend it. However there are small electric heaters that would probably be a safer choice.

A: For liability purposes we do not recommend adding a stove jack. I'm sorry for the bad news.

A: The manufacturer does not recommend using any combustible heat source for liability reasons. A wood burning stove requires a air vent and any modifications to the tent void the warranty.
