Stove heat and carbon tent pole

Have you read Tim Clarke's recent articles on this? Cheers

In my tipi/stove set up, i've had the stove fairly close to the carbon fiber pole before and so far haven't had problems. I don't know if it would help or not, but maybe some aluminized tape on the part of the pole that will be closest to the stove?

if the pole doesn't feel hot to the touch, it's not a problem I have no idea how hot it has to get to risk damage

As a retired fire fighter for 34 years and studying fire behavior, the risk of damage to your carbon fiber pole is minimal as long as you don't have direct flame impingement on the pole. To be safe, just keep the flame low before putting your pot on the burner and after that, whatever is in your pot will absorb most of the btu's.

I think the OP means a contained, wood stove with pipe (hot tent setup) rather than talking about a cook stove.

I have a titanium wood stove I use in a tent and it's been very close to my carbon pole without any issues.

Carbon fibre tubes will have a temperature resistance (Tg) of say 120C. Sinsce carbon tube is so light it will have the same temperature as the air surrounding it (as opposed to a temperature difference created by IR). So feel the air temperature around the stove and you will know how far away your pole has to be.
