GLAWNING 45 Degree Tent Stove Flashing Kit Instructions
FIRE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
- The fire should not be placed directly on the tent groundsheet because it will get very hot – always place on a suitable heat-resistant base.
- Always ensure that the glawning has adequate ventilation and that the fire is properly flued out through the flashing kit (see overleaf). Be careful when handling the flue kit as the edges can be sharp.
- If the doors of the glawning are closed then some of the half moon ventilation flaps should be left open to ventilate the glawning.
- Inadequate ventilation and flue set up can lead to death by carbon monoxide poisoning. A carbon monoxide alarm should be used (and checked regularly) as a precautionary measure, although it should not be relied on completely as they do not work properly in all conditions.
- The fire should be fully extinguished before going to sleep.
- Never leave the fire unattended.
- Ensure that you have an adequate and easily accessible means of extinguishing the fire in an emergency. We would recommend keeping a small fire extinguisher, a heat proof glove and a fire blanket in the glawning.
- The fire, fire base and chimney will all get very hot – please ensure that animals and children are supervised at all times and are not allowed near the fire.
- The fire should not be burned too hot so do not overload it with fuel.
- Due to the lightweight flue kit, this stove should not be used in very windy weather.
FITTING YOUR FLASHING KIT
IMPORTANT
When deciding where to put your stove you should allow a distance of at least 1 metre between the top of the stove and the lowest point of the canvas through which the flue is inserted.

PLEASE NOTE: BEFORE THE STOVE IS SET UP AND USED IN YOUR TENT IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE FIRST BURN IS DONE OUTSIDE TO CURE THE PAINT. YOU SHOULD START WITH A LOW FIRE USING JUST KINDLING.YOU WILL NOTICE WHAT LOOKS LIKE SMOKE COMING FROM THE STOVE, ACCOMPANIED BY A STRONG SMELL. THIS IS NORMAL, CAUSED BY THE STOVE PAINT CURING.
STEP 1 – For a VISTA stove you’ll need to cut the silicone by a small amount to fit the larger flue (just enough to provide a correct but snug fit – around 10mm)
STEP 2 – Decide where you want the stove (see guidance above) and place the metal ring in the correct position between the tent seams.
STEP 3 – With a pen, draw around the INSIDE of the metal ring and mark where each of the holes is.
STEP 4 – Carefully cut the hole in the canvas
STEP 5 – using a screwdriver, make a hole large enough for each of the screws to go through.
STEP 6 – Screw on the flasing kit with one metal plate on each side of the tent. It can be left in place foreever once installed.
STEP 7 – Push the flue through the flashing kit and connect it to the stove, making sure everything’s straight.
STEP 8 – Sit back, relax and enjoy!
