    Re: Wood stoves for tent

    12x14 wall tent.
    Built myself a woodstove from a 30lb propane tank with a zipcut and 115v flux core mig.
    We can heat that tent over 100f.
    Legs and door handle are removable and store inside for transport.
    Mapp gas plumbers torch makes quick work of early morning relights.
    My tent, poles and stove and venting come in at 200lbs.

    My buddy heater wouldnt heat the tent one early october trip.
    It snowed and we froze bad.
    I now save the buddy heater for my 3 man Eureka tent. Open a vent and let it heat up before i go to sleep and turn it back on when i wake to take the chill oit of the mornings. Works great in there.
    I always set multiple alarms on my pjone to ensure i dont fall asleep with it on.

    A CO detector is an addition i plan to add soon.

    Price sure is right.... hmmm

    Hmmm use a WOOD stove..avoid any propane type heating stove..they produce far too much more moisture..a wet sticky " heat "
    Wood burning is really dry..dries clothes..a better heat..sleeping bags get dry and stay dry..
    Getting too small or too big is not good.
    We have a tent sponsor on this site..contact them for advice ?
    Cheers

    I use the biggest hippie killer stove and it is great in my 14X16 wall tent in really cold temps. We had -39C one morning and the tent was chilly but not freeze your arse cold. Big wood capacity is a good thing. Stay away from the propane heat in my mind!!

    I've had a hippie killer for awhile now, maybe 4 years. It's pretty much had it, thin metal doesn't stand up. It did a good job but I would like to upgrade too. I can decide if I should go cheaper and try out the Home Depot alpine stove or spend the bucks and get one of those wilderness stoves.
