How to Turn Any Tent into a Hot Tent with the GreenStove Hori 5

Winter camping is magical—the crisp air, the serene, snowy landscapes, the solitude. But let’s be honest: the freezing temperatures can be a deal-breaker. For years, the solution has been a “hot tent,” a specialized and often expensive piece of gear with a built-in stove jack. But what if you could get all the warmth and comfort of a hot tent using the tent you already own?

Enter the GreenStove Hori 5 ecosystem. This isn’t just a stove; it’s a complete system designed to transform almost any tent with a door or window into a cozy, four-season shelter. As experts in outdoor gear, we’re here to show you how this game-changing setup works.

The Heart of the Heat: The Hori 5 All-In-One Stove

Before we get to the conversion, let’s talk about the engine: the GREEN STOVE Hori 5 All-In-One Tent Stove. This is the foundation of your hot tent. It’s not just a heater; it’s a multi-fuel powerhouse trusted by seasoned adventurers.

Dual-Fuel Dominance: Seamlessly switch between wood pellets for a consistent, long-lasting burn (up to 10 hours!) and traditional firewood. You’ll never be caught without a fuel source.
Integrated Oven: Why just survive when you can thrive? The built-in oven lets you bake, roast, and cook, turning your campsite into a gourmet kitchen. Imagine the aroma of fresh coffee and baked bread filling your warm tent on a frosty morning.
Unmatched Efficiency: The patented U-Shaped Heat Retention Chamber maximizes heat output, ensuring every piece of fuel works harder to keep you warm, not just heat the sky.

This stove provides the heat. Now, let’s address the most common problem: how to safely get the chimney outside your standard tent.

The Challenge: No Stove Jack? No Problem.

The single biggest hurdle for most campers is the lack of a fire-resistant port (a stove jack) for the hot chimney pipe. Cutting a hole in your tent is not an option. This is where GreenStove’s brilliant accessories come into play, allowing for a “side-exit” strategy that is safe, secure, and requires no permanent modifications to your tent.

The Solution: A Two-Part System for a Perfect Side-Exit

With two key accessories, you can safely route your stove’s chimney through a side opening, like a door or window.

1. The Guardian: Hori 5 Heat Protect Ring

Think of this as a portable, non-permanent stove jack. This ingenious aluminum ring is the crucial interface between the hot pipe and your tent fabric.

Safe Passage: It clamps securely onto your tent’s door or window opening (especially those with two-way zippers), creating a wide, ventilated buffer. The tent fabric is held firmly away from the hot chimney, eliminating any risk of melting or fire.
Effortless Setup: Made of lightweight aluminum, the ring installs in seconds with simple snap fasteners. No tools, no fuss.
Universal Compatibility: It’s designed to accommodate chimneys up to 8 cm (3.15 inches) in diameter, making it a perfect fit for the Hori 5 stove.

2. The Backbone: Hori 5 Side-Exit Chimney Tripod Kit

Once the chimney is outside, it needs to be supported. You can’t let the weight of the flue pipe hang off your tent fabric. This is the job of the Tripod Kit.

Rock-Solid Support: This heavy-duty stainless steel tripod stands outside your tent and securely holds the vertical chimney pipe. It takes all the weight and strain, ensuring total stability.
Mount Anywhere: The kit’s heavy-duty clamps can attach to poles from 1.5cm to 4cm, but its primary function is to support the flue pipe itself with its quick-release ring.
Total Adjustability: A universal ball head on the chimney clamp allows you to achieve the perfect angle, regardless of your tent’s shape or the terrain.
All-Weather Stability: For windy conditions, the kit includes pegs and guy lines to anchor the tripod to the ground, providing an unshakable chimney setup.

Step-by-Step: Your 5-Minute Hot Tent Conversion

Ready to assemble your new winter fortress? Here’s how simple it is:

Position the Stove: Place your Hori 5 stove inside the tent on a fire-resistant mat for safety.
Install the Heat Protect Ring: Unzip a door or window and attach the Heat Protect Ring. This is now your safe chimney port.
Route the Chimney: Connect your first flue pipe and two 90-degree elbows (sold separately) to direct the chimney horizontally out through the center of the Heat Protect Ring.
Erect the Tripod: Assemble the tool-free Side-Exit Tripod Kit outside.
Secure the Flue: Attach the vertical chimney sections and clamp them to the tripod. Adjust the height and angle for a perfect, stable fit.
Anchor Down (If Needed): In windy conditions, use the included pegs and guy lines to secure the tripod.

Your Adventure Awaits

Stop letting cold weather dictate your camping season. With the GreenStove Hori 5 stove and the Side-Exit accessory system, the tent you already own is now a true four-season shelter. This system is a testament to brilliant engineering—it’s safe, incredibly robust, and easy to use.
