Cripp has some experience with these, I will send him a note!

The heat shield you have is for the small wall tent. The wall tent has an opening that the shield fits into. I'm not familiar with the GP tent but I suspect it may be a different shield.

Heres a pic of one of mine

that helps greatly the hole thats in the tent is more oval.. i have been hearing that the gp smalls some did not use a shield.. thanks again

Been having a nose around. It looks like there is a heat shield material built into the opening.

yea with the think round ring i was wondering about that, i just thought with the heat from the pipe it would melt the so called rubber around the stovepipe opening i also seen some use cans like coffee cans to fill the hole...

This came up a long while back and you can get a matt that is used by plumbers and welders to keep heat and sparks away. I'll try to find the topic. It wraps around the pipe.

Here is a modern solution if you need it.
