The L-Sized Nomad is ideal for smaller recreational shelters such as yurts, vans, and medium-sized tents. Exact suitability depends on insulation, outdoor temperature, and desired warmth level.

Yes, the stove must be placed on a non-combustible surface such as a fireproof mat, concrete, or stone. This protects the ground or floor from heat damage.

No, the chimney pipe sections, spark arrestor, and rain cap are typically sold separately. You will need to purchase these components to use the stove safely.

Clean with a damp cloth after cooling. For heavier residue, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.

While designed for portable shelters, it can be used in small, well-ventilated permanent structures like tiny homes or cabins, provided all local building codes and safety regulations for wood-burning appliances are met, including proper chimney installation and clearances.

Burn only dry, seasoned hardwoods for best results and to minimize creosote buildup. Avoid treated lumber or trash, as these can produce toxic fumes.

Ensure you are using dry, seasoned hardwood. Check that the damper (if applicable to your chimney configuration) is open. Verify that the chimney is drawing properly and is not blocked.

Ensure all chimney sections are securely connected. Use high-temperature sealant or fiberglass rope gasket material (sold separately) to seal any gaps between the stove and the first chimney section, and between chimney sections.

Ensure the legs are aligned correctly with the attachment points on the stove. Gently tap them into place if they are snug, but do not force them. Refer to the manual for specific leg assembly instructions.

The soot buildup is normal. You can clean the window with a damp cloth or a specialized stove glass cleaner. Burning the stove hotter for a period can also help burn off some of the soot.
