There is a recall of Cabela’s Ultimate Alaknak Outfitter, Instinct Outfitter and Big Horn III 6P tents.   The tents are sold at Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shop Stores as well as online.

The tents’ sizes range from 10 feet by 10 feet to 13 feet by 27 feet and are sold in green. The name, model number, manufacturing date code providing the place and date of manufacture, and SKU of the tent, are printed on the inside of the tent on the sewn-in warning label.

The tents are designed for the optional use of a wood stove inside.  The issue is the stove jack ring which allows the stove pipe to exit the tent and is intended to provide a seal between the stove pipe and the tent.

The recall says the tent’s stove jack ring can deteriorate when exposed to high temperatures from contact with a stove pipe and create smoke inside the tent, posing a risk of injury from smoke inhalation.

There have been three reports of this happening in Canada and one report of  smoke inhalation and frostbite related to discontinuing the use of a wood stove while camping.

Consumers should immediately stop using the wood stove inside the tents and contact Westfield Outdoor which is the company which supplies the tents to Cabela’s.  Westfield Outdoor will provide a free replacement stove jack ring.
