Built for the cold and the wind
What the gear does once you are out there.
01
A dry living room under the tarp
Two tall poles, a tarp and four guy lines turn a tent door into a porch where you can cook and sit out of the rain. The telescopic poles set to any height, so the tarp sheds water instead of pooling.
02
Stakes for the ground you actually get
Soft grass, sand, gravel or a pitch that turns rock-hard after a few centimetres – there is a stake for each kind, from light pegs for soft grass to heavy-duty stakes for hard, stony pitches.
03
Shade and shelter on your terms
Plug-together and telescopic poles hold up a sun sail, an awning or a hammock fly – pack them short, set them tall.

Complete kits
Carry bags, guy ropes, stakes, gloves and tools are packed in the box.
Using a hot tent stove safely
The steps the stove listings give for first use and everyday burning, in short.
Burn it off outdoors first
Before the first night in a tent, light a full fire outside. Coatings and manufacturing residue burn off and stop smoking.
Fireproof base and fresh air
Inside a tent, stand the stove on a fireproof mat and keep the tent ventilated – a wood fire produces carbon monoxide.
Build the chimney
Slot the stainless sections together to the height you need and include the section with the damper. Fit the spark arrestor on top if your stove has one.
Light with everything open
Open the air vent and the damper while the fire catches and until the first smoke clears. Dry wood burns cleaner.
Set the heat
Close the door and open the damper fully for a strong fire; turn the damper down to slow the burn and save wood.
Clean only when cold
Let the stove cool completely, then brush out the ash or empty the pull-out tray. Tools and gloves pack inside the firebox.
Pitching poles and stakes
Telescopic poles: unlock by turning, pull to height and turn back to lock. Run a guy line from the top of each pole to a stake. Drive stakes at about 60° away from the load and leave a few centimetres above ground so you can pull them out again.
Quick fixes
- Smoke when lightingOpen the air vent and the damper together until the fire is going, and use well-dried wood.
- Stove smells on first firesThat is residue burning off – do the outdoor burn-off before using it in a tent.
- Stakes bend in hard groundUse a heavier, thicker stake and drive it at an angle with a hammer rather than straight down.
What buyers say
Real 4- and 5-star reviews from buyers in Canada, shortened.
★★★★★
“As advertised. Recommend burning off before using in tent or you may panic and think stove is leaking but really it’s just manufacturing left overs burning out of seams. Recommend getting a heat wrap for the chimney if using in a tent. And double up the heat mat underneath(she rips by).”
★★★★★
“Package arrived on time and was in good condition except a few of the stack pipes where a bit dented and bent but only took a few minutes to straighten out, over all easy setup and easy to use, happy with purchase and would recommend this product.”
★★★★★
“a very good stove, ideal for a small tent for two people, it is even enough for a sauna. very good for the money, but the only thing is that the flame control is poorly regulated”
★★★★★
“Awesome poles. Used to hold tarp while camping and absolutely loved it. Strong, reliable and solid height. Will buy again for sure.”
★★★★★
“I used these for a 4-day/3-night camping trip with a tarp. The poles were easy to set up, adjust, and to take down and they held up well under moderate wind and rain. I'm very happy with them.”
★★★★★
“Very useful and well made, survived strong winds with no issue”
★★★★☆
“Used these for a beach canopy and they were very quick and easy to put together. The sections stayed secure and the top pins were really useful for keeping everything in place. They felt sturdy enough overall, although one pole arrived slightly bent. It still worked fine.”
★★★★★
“Very solid tent stakes, worked great. I would definitely buy them again if needed.”
Frequently asked questions
Can I use an AVOFOREST stove inside a tent?
They are built as hot tent stoves. The listings ask for a fireproof mat under the stove, good ventilation because of carbon monoxide, and a chimney routed out of the tent through a heat-resistant opening. Burn the stove off outdoors before the first use.
Can I cook on the stove?
Yes. The flat top takes a kettle or a pan for coffee and simple meals, and the side racks hold a pot or dry a towel. Control the heat with the damper.
How long is each chimney section?
Each stainless section is 12 in (30.5 cm). Depending on the model you get 6, 7 or 12 sections and assemble as many as the height needs; one of them carries the damper.
How tall do the telescopic poles go?
The 32 mm poles go from 88 to 265 cm (2.9–8.7 ft) and each pole is rated for 60 lb. The taller set reaches 280 cm (9.2 ft) and collapses to 87 cm.
Will the telescopic poles collapse in wind?
They use locking joints – the 265 cm model has a second anti-collapse lock – and the brand states they handle winds up to about 40 mph when guyed out. Don’t over-tighten ratchet straps against them.
How do the plug-together poles adjust?
In steps of one section: use all of them for full height (80 in aluminium or 75 in steel) or fewer for a lower pole. You can also join sections into one longer pole and one shorter one.
Which stakes for hard or rocky ground?
The lighter pegs suit normal soil and grass. Drive any stake at an angle, away from the pull, and use a hammer on hard ground.
Why are there no prices on this site?
Prices and stock change often. Each button opens the current listing for your country, where you see today’s price and delivery.
Why do some products share one rating?
Ratings come from the product listing. Where one listing groups several sizes, colours or related items, they share one rating – this is noted under the stars.
Why is the line-up different in each country?
AVOFOREST sells a different selection in each country. Use the country selector at the top to see the products available where you live.
