Keeping wall tent toasty
« on: February 05, 2014, 11:07:00 AM »
Several very cool woodstoves out there.  What style and model do you use for a wall tent that will house 3 archers and gear for 7-10 days?
Thanks,
KSPete

Pete...Here's a pic of the 4 Dogs stove I use to heat my wall tent.  I purchased it last year after trying to decide between it and the Cylinder Stove.  I'm sure I'd have been happy with both stoves but I think I made the right decision.  Here are a couple of features it has the I feel make it the best stove.

1.  Airtight Door w/ Gasket.  This allows you to control the burn better and helps it burn longer
2.  Baffle.  Helps transfer the heat to the stove instead of letting it go up the pipe.  Also makes for a better cooking surface if you cook on it. (I don't)
3.  Legs slide in instead of screwing in making set up quick and easy
4.  Built in handles.  Sounds like a small thing but these stoves are heavy and it makes handling by yourself easy.

Good luck on your decsion, there's nothing like a wall tent with a wood stove for elk camp.

Cool looking set up
I try not to let my mind wander...It is too small and fragile to be out by itself.

For my 12x14 outfitter tent I use a Simms stove.  Plenty of room for 3 or more in the tent with cots and gear and the stove collapses for travel and packing and provides plenty of heat.

Had a welder fabricate a stove from a 100 pound propane tank. It will hold 5 lengths of pipe and 4 screw in legs inside the stove. Keeps our 10 x 22 tent cozy.
Old doesn't start until you hit three figures...and then it's negotiable
