install the winnerwell flashing kit in the
springbar® zip-in stove jack accessory
The Zip-In Stove Jack Accessory includes a paper template for Flashing Kit installation.
Detailed instructions are also printed directly on the template.
1) Cut the template along the dotted lines at the perimeter to create a ʻtriangleʼ shaped paper template that aligns
with the Zip-In Stove Jack.
2) Cut the template along the dotted lines indicating the position of the ʻFlashing Kitʼ ring that corresponds to your
model and size of your Winnerwell Stove.
Note* There are 3 possible placement options- the highest position is for the Woodlander Large Stove, the middle position is for
both the Nomad Large Stove and Woodlander Medium Stove, the lowest position is for the Nomad Medium Stove.
3) Using a level work bench or surface suitable for cutting, position the template over the Zip-In Stove Jack Accessory.
*Note- be sure the template is placed on the side of the Stove Jack that has the label ʻThis Side Inside Tentʼ to ensure correct hole
placement. Using a pen or pencil, trace the ʻFlashing Kitʼ ring onto the Stove Jack Accessory.
4) Double check all measurements and hole placement position, making sure it corresponds with the model and size of Winnerwell
Stove you intend to use. As the old saying goes - measure twice, cut once.
5) Place the Stove Jack on level work bench or surface suitable for cutting.
Using a razor knife or quality scissors, cut the hole in the Stove Jack following the line you traced and remove the excess material.
6) Using the Winnerwell Flashing Kit, remove the steel ring from the back of the Flashing Kit by removing the wing nuts.
Position the steel ring over the hole you just cut in the Stove Jack, and mark the position of the bolts (6 places total).
Use a hole punch or similar device to create the holes for the Flashing Kit bolts.
7) Install the Flashing Kit in the Stove Jack and secure with the wing nuts.
Note* make sure the Flashing Kitʼs rubber gasket is positioned on the side of the Stove Jack that will be outside the tent.
The Flashing Kitʼs steel ring and wing nuts will be on the side of the Stove Jack that will be inside the tent.

attach to corresponding zippers on the Stove Jack, zip each approximately half way. Attach the horizontal zipper at the bottom of
the triangle opening to the corresponding zipper on the Stove Jack and fully zip to secure.
Return to the 2 upper zippers and fully zip to secure.
Note* make sure the side of the Stove Jack that has the label ʻThis Side Inside Tentʼ is installed facing the interior of the tent.

on the exterior tent wall.

1) Position the Winnerwell Fireproof Mat under the Zip-In Stove Jack.
Always use a Fireproof Mat when using a Wood Stove in your Tent.
2) Positon the Winnerwell Stove Body on top of the Fireproof Mat.
3) Insert the Airflow Controller pipe section (included with all Winnerwell Stoves) directly to the stove body.
Insert a 45-Degree Pipe section to the Airflow Controller.
4) From inside the tent, slide the Winnerwell Double Wall Pipe section approximately half way through the Flashing Kit.
Adjust the position of the stove body as required to align the 45-degree pipe section with the Double Wall Pipe section.
Insert the Double Wall Pipe section into the 45-Degree Pipe section.
5) From outside the tent, insert a 45-Degree Pipe Section into the Double Wall Pipe section.
6) Assemble remaining Straight Pipe sections with the Spark Arrestor positioned at the top. (Straight Pipe sections and a Spark
Arrestor come standard with all Winnerwell Stoves.) Insert the assembled chimney pipe into the 45-Degree Pipe section.
Note* We recommend using 3 straight pipe sections for Large size Winnerwell Stoves, and 4 straight pipe sections for Medium size
Winnerwell Stoves. You want to establish at minimum 18-inches of clearance from the roof panel of the tent to the spark arrestor.
7) Attach Springbar® Chimney Support Cable.
On the 45-Degree Pipe located on the outside of the tent and
near the connection point to the Double Wall Pipe, girth hitch
the pipe using the bare loop on the Chimney Support Cable.
Run the loop on the opposite side of the cable over a tent
spring rod just where it exits the T-Fitting on the
ridge pole assembly.
Connect the S-loop to the tension slide and adjust until just snug
to support the chimney pipe.
8) Now youʼre all set to ʻhot tent.ʼ Use common sense safety and have a great time staying warm out in the wild.

tips for operating a wood burning stove
Efficient and safe use of wood burning stove is a skill that requires patience, practice, and common sense safety.
1) We strongly recommend you practice burning your Winnerwell Stove in the open before using inside of a tent or shelter.
Practice your fire starting technique to quickly establish good draw. Practice adjusting the dampers and take note of how they
affect the draw and burn rate of the stove. Practice opening the door slowly when adding wood to prevent smoke spillage.
The more you practice and learn how your stove performs, the happier youʼll be when you set it up in the tent.
2) Create good draw by quickly establishing a bed of coals to initiate the draw of air through the stove and up the pipe.
When lighting your fire, make sure all dampers are in the fully open position.
Use a generous amount of good quality small and medium size tinder.
NEVER USE AN ACCELERATE SUCH AS LIGHTER FLUID IN YOUR WOOD STOVE OR ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR TENT OR SHELTER.
3) Open the stove door slowly when adding more wood to prevent smoke spillage into your tent or shelter.
4) When your stove is burning efficiently, there will be little to no visible smoke exiting the chimney pipe.
If the chimney is belching thick visible smoke, itʼs an indication the stove is not burning at a sufficient temperature to
combust the fuel. Also avoid overloading the stove, excessive heat may warp or damage the stove.

safety guidelines
User must adhere to these guidelines at all times when using the Springbar® Zip-In Stove Jack Accessory
as part of the Springbar® ʻHot Tentʼ system.
1) The Springbar Classic Jack 140 Tent and Zip-In Stove Jack Accessory have been specifically designed to function only with
Winnerwell Stoves and Accessories as outlined and as part of a complete ʻhot tentʼ system. Only operate a Winnerwell Stove in
your Classic Jack 140 Tent when using all required components and safety guidelines of the Springbar® ʻHot Tentʼ system.
Springbar® does not recommend and is not liable for any damage to property or injury caused by the use or misuse of any other
stove, stove jack, tent, stove accessory, or any other heat source.
2) Read and follow all Safety Warnings and instructions included with your Winnerwell Stove.
3) Read and follow all Safety Warnings and instructions included with your Springbar® Classic Jack 140 Tent.
4) NEVER LEAVE A STOVE BURNING UNATTENDED.
Any fire, including the fire in your stove, must be managed and attended to at all times to reduce the likelihood of accident or injury.
5) Always wear GLOVES & PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT when handling a hot wood stove.
This includes the operation of handles on the dampers and doors, cooking, and loading wood into the stove.
6) Check and clean chimney pipe sections daily to prevent creosote buildup.
Creosote buildup can restrict draw, negatively impact the performance of the stove, and can increase the chance
of unsafe chimney fires.
7) Use SPECIAL CAUTION WITH CHILDREN AND PETS. If children and pets are present in the tent while using your wood stove,
extreme caution and supervision are required at all times. We recommend use of a barrier to prevent accidental contact with a hot
stove. Wood stoves become extremely hot during use and any direct contact will result in injury. Never touch a hot stove.
8) Always PRACTICE RESPONSIBLE FIRE SAFETY and common sense safety judgment.
Assume that everything is flammable and act accordingly.
Always check and follow local fire bans and restrictions.
Never start a fire you are not adequately equipped to quickly extinguish.
We recommend the inclusion of a portable fire extinguisher as part of your camping equipment.
9) Educate yourself regarding the DANGERS OF CARBON MONOXIDE.
Only burn dry, well seasoned fire wood in your stove.
Always ventilate your tent adequately.
We strongly recommend the use of a portable Carbon Monoxide Detector in your tent.
10) If weather conditions in your camp become extreme to point where you believe at any time the stability of the tent or the stove
may be compromised, do not use the wood stove.
Springbar Tents are not intended to carry heavy snow loads.
If snow fall is expected during your camp, snow accumulation must be managed and brushed from roof as needed.
11) KEEP FIRE AWAY FROM CANVAS. The tent canvas used in the Classic Jack 140 Tent will burn if exposed to an open flame.
Never allow the tent canvas to be in contact with an open flame or hot stove component and ensure proper clearances are
maintained at all times. Due to the harsh nature of fire retardant chemicals which have been shown to adversely affect the environ-
ment and individuals, Springbar® does not apply a fire retardant treatment to its canvas fabrics. Some states (CA, LA, MA, MI,
MN NJ, NY) have restrictions on sales of tents without a fire retardant treatment. Most involve sales to groups and usage in
commercial applications. We recommend you check for specific restrictions in your area prior to ordering any Springbar® Tent.
That said, in over a half century of manufacturing tents with our cotton canvas fabrics, with no incident to our knowledge involving a
fire hazard, we feel our fabrics do not pose any significant safety risk when used in conjunction with common sense.
