When making a fire in the Nordic tipi, always open the ventilator cap on the leeward side so that the smoke is sucked out of the tent. (Make sure enough air is coming in and that it is taken from the side of the tent facing the wind.) To keep maximum heat in the tent, open the ventilator cap as little as possible.
When using an open fire in the tipi, the top ventilator cap (the smaller upper cap) must be closed. As the fire dies down, the ventilator cap may be closed and the top ventilator cap opened. This will let out the smoke while keeping insects out.
The top ventilator cap is available on Safir and Zirkon.
