DANCHEL OUTDOOR Canvas Stove Jack for Bell Tent, 5.85" Diameter Pre-Cut Hole — Hook-and-Loop Rain Flap and Fiberglass Reinforcement

The DANCHEL OUTDOOR Canvas Stove Jack with Flap is a reinforced, high-temperature resistant canvas patch that creates a 5.85" chimney opening for bell tents so you can safely route a stove pipe or ventilation duct.

This stove jack kit converts a section of your canvas tent wall into a controlled penetration point for stove pipes, electric leads or air-conditioning ducts. Made from layered canvas and fiberglass-reinforced fabric, it provides a gasket area to cut and finish a precise 5.85" (approx. 14.8 cm) hole and includes a Velcro-secured rain flap to keep weather out when not in use. The jack is designed for easy installation—glue and sew into place—so you can adapt a family bell tent into a cold-weather hot tent or add a protected inlet in warm months.

How big is the stove jack and what pipe sizes will it fit?

The jack's round opening measures 5.85" in diameter and is built into a 19 x 19.5" canvas panel with an internal grey heat-resistant patch sized about 11 x 11.5". It accommodates stove pipes up to 4.72" (12 cm) outer diameter. Measure your pipe first to confirm compatibility.

• Round hole: 5.85" (for pipes ≤ 4.72" / 12 cm)
• Overall panel: 19 x 19.5 inches for gluing/sewing overlap
• Heat-resistant insert: ~11 x 11.5 inches
• Material thickness comparable to about four A4 papers

Is the stove jack waterproof and safe around heat?

The unit uses a Velcro-secured rain flap and durable canvas to keep moisture out when the stove is not in use, and the core fabric includes fiberglass for high-temperature resistance. It is designed to reduce heat transfer to the tent fabric, but it is not fully fireproof—follow stove manufacturer guidance and safe clearances.

• Velcro rain flap closes tightly to block rain and drafts
• Fiberglass-reinforced fabric for elevated temperature durability
• Not fireproof—maintain required clearances and use spark arrestors
• Coverable when not in use to protect the tent interior

How do I install the stove jack on my bell tent?

Installation is straightforward: mark and cut the canvas where you want the pipe, apply a strong outdoor adhesive around the opening, sew the jack in place for added strength, and finish the pipe passthrough. The extra canvas border provides material for glue or stitching and helps create a weatherproof seal.

• Choose location considering stove clearances and wind direction
• Cut a precise hole matching the jack's 5.85" opening
• Use outdoor adhesive and stitch the perimeter for strength
• Seal seams and test flap closure before first use

Can I use this jack year-round and for other ventilation needs?

Yes—the jack is suitable for four-season use. In cold weather it provides a stove chimney outlet; in warm weather it can be used as a protected inlet for electrical cords, ducting or air conditioning hoses. Always ensure any duct or pipe fits the diameter limits and follow safety practices for each application.

• Winter: stove pipe chimney for hot tent setups
• Summer: protected inlet for AC hoses or electrical leads
• Helps prevent canvas damage by directing heat or moisture
• Use appropriate sleeves or adapters for non-stove ducts

Who this is for: campers and canvas tent owners who want a durable, easy-to-install solution for routing stove pipes or ventilation through bell tents. It suits DIY tent modifiers, winter hot-tent users, and anyone needing a weatherproof inlet on a canvas shelter. If you plan to run a wood-burning stove, verify pipe diameter and maintain safe clearances—this kit improves protection and convenience but does not replace correct stove installation practices.
