STEP 7 - From back inside the tent, add the washer and nut sets to each of the six protruding bolts.

Tent stoves that are placed closer to the side wall of the tent will capture less heat but are easier to work around and refuel while keeping your tent clean.
Make sure you use a modular stove jack like the Exit 1 so you can choose the perfect location for your stove and get a nice tight fit around your flue pipe. Tents with pre-installed stove jacks may sound convenient but they do not fit most stoves and do not allow you to customize your stove placement. Use a knife to cut the galvanized rubber flashing to fit snugly around your flue pipe section. Next disassemble your stove jack completely - you will use the rings as a stencil in the next step.
Line up a flue pipe section above your chosen stove placement and mark the exit point. Center the metal ring around the flue pipe exit point and use the ring as a stencil to pencil in the location of the bolt holes. Poke small holes through the canvas with the tip of a sharp knife to allow the bolts to pass through.
