Go to your local hardware store and get a large oval blue tin air tight. They are cheep and give off lots of heat.

Hey Woody,

My dad has a good little wood stove he uses in his wall tent, I'll ask him what make/model it is. It's fairly small and lightweight and literally turns the walltent into Jamaica without the palm trees.

Happy Hunting!

I am in agreeance with K-1 .I have had a homemade stainless stove for over 10 years but it is a heavy, cumbersome bulky unit .I have since gone to the blue tin stove and it is much more portable. and you can fit some of the pipe inside .The elbows anyway ,as I have a stove jack in the back wall.If portability is not an issue then go with a cadilac from deluxe but if weight is an issue you cant beat the blue tin stove .

Seen a few, some cheap, some expensive, but the best are the air-tight's (unless you have unlimited weight).

Check out Kettle River Stoves here in Courtenay, thats ALL he does. Builds them all winter and sells them for hunting season, he makes every kind of accessory you can imagine for them.

Don't go cheap on the chimney.

Make sure you have a good spark suppressor.

Our tent burnt down last season, this year we will take an extra step or two for peace of mind.

We use these in our 10 man arctic tents. They run off diesel, wood and other stuff, and work awesome.

I picked up the 18'' oval stove from surpus Herbies-it held a fire until about 3am when I have to get up anyway.I would have got a bigger stove-but we just have a 9x12 canvass wall tent-kept it warm though.I was using a kerosine heater-but I didn't like the smell and one night I woke up choking from the heavy black smoke-scared me,so we switched to the wood stove.
I'm wondering about making one of those 45 gal barrel stoves someone posted on the web-and using it in the 12x20 portable tarp garage we take-it sure is great for cooking and keeping gear out of the rain-so if we could put a stove in there it would be about perfect.
