Hey all, I am looking for some advice. Literally just got the Snowtrekker High Country, and used it all weekend. I think this is the only model that uses a vertical pipe. Anyway, I got some creosote drip onto the fabric, apparently from the spark arrestor/rain cap. Any recommendations on preventing the creosote build up and drip? I couldn't seem to get the fire any hotter, and all I have to burn is pine. Thanks for any tips.

You pretty much covered the issue in your question paragraph: 1) only pine to burn - which produces a lot of creosote; 2) a spark arrestor that traps some of that creosote; 3) a vertical pipe that delivers the creosote to your tent.
The solutions aren't in your favor either: 1) if you only have pine, you won't have hardwoods that don't have as much creosote; 2) some locales require the use of a spark arrestor; 3) you've already invested once in a tent - who wants to invest twice to get a tent model with the angled stove pipe design?
You might choose to live with it. Clean the pipe often and know that fans don't respect baseball players with perfectly clean uniforms after 9 innings.

I don't see any reason why you can't angle the chimney away from the tent.Comment
