Esker Hudson Wood Stove | Canadian-Made Winter Hot Tent Stove

Built for Mid to Large Hot Tents
The Hudson is sized for the tents that need serious heat: 10×10, 10×12, 12×12, 12×14, and 14×16 ft hot tents where a smaller stove simply won't keep pace with the volume and the cold. The 57.3 L burn chamber — measuring 53 × 33 × 74.5 cm in use — generates and holds the heat output that a large base camp tent requires for comfortable warmth through a Canadian winter night. One reviewer runs it in a 9.5×11 Snowtrekker and keeps it warm at −20°C, damping it down to burn through most of the night on a single load. For winter campers who've outgrown a small stove, the Hudson is the natural upgrade.

22-Gauge Canadian Carbon Steel — Made in Canada
The Hudson is manufactured in Canada from 22-gauge Canadian carbon steel — the same gauge and material as the Baffin CS, scaled to the larger format. The heavier carbon steel construction absorbs and radiates heat effectively, holds up to the thermal cycling of a stove used frequently in hard winter conditions, and ages well with use. The stove has been field-tested in Canadian winters, which is a different standard than products that carry a cold-weather claim without the field hours to back it up. Distinctive maple leaf cutouts on the damper are a design detail worth noting — functional hardware that also makes the Canadian origin unmistakable.

54 cm Log Capacity — Full-Size Wood, Long Burns
The Hudson accepts wood up to 54 cm (about 21 inches) long — meaningful in practice because it's close enough to standard firewood lengths that you're not splitting every piece down to fit. More wood length per load means more fuel on the fire without constant tending, and the 57.3 L chamber volume gives each load room to burn long. Reviewers note the ability to damp it down and get burns that last through most of a night — the kind of performance that matters when you're trying to sleep warm rather than wake up every two hours to reload.

Snow Float Legs — Ice and Snow Ready
The updated folding Snow Float legs are designed to accept branches or staves underneath, spreading the stove's load across a wider footprint to prevent sinking into soft snow or transferring heat directly onto an ice surface. For ice fishing, lake-based winter camps, and any setup on a frozen or soft snow surface, this is the purpose-built solution rather than improvising with whatever's nearby. The legs fold away for packed transport and set up quickly in the field.

Pipe Set Included — Straight and Angled Configurations
The Hudson ships with a complete pipe set covering both stack configurations. The straight pipe stack is compatible with the Esker Classic Tent series, with a total installed height of 318 cm. The angled pipe stack with elbow works with the Esker Classic 2 series and the Multi Tent, at a total height of 286 cm. Reviewers confirm the swivel elbow works well for canvas wall tents with a stove jack fitted in the wall — a common setup for larger base camp tents. The Hudson accepts 5" tapered pipes for extended stack configurations.

Packed for the Field
At 33 × 33 × 60 cm packed and approximately 15.0 kg total weight (8.1 kg burn chamber), the Hudson is designed for sled travel, snowmobile access, and vehicle- supported winter base camps — the typical transport method for the larger tent setups it's built to heat. The packed dimensions keep it manageable for loading into a sled or trailer without the stove taking over the entire load.

5-Year Workmanship Warranty
Esker backs the Hudson with a 5-year warranty on manufacturer workmanship. For a wood stove at this scale and price point, that warranty signals that Esker stands behind the build — and for a piece of winter kit that you expect to use for years across many seasons, that assurance is part of what you're buying.
