This year I bought an easy up or pop up canopy. I use it outside the travel trailer usually but am going to try it out with the woodstove. It goes up in less than 5 minutes with all walls etc. I got one of the industrial ones from a place on Craigslist that sells them. Heavy denier roof and walls and thicker steel frame. Definitely needs to be anchored. At least all corners and wall to roof seal with velcro. Just need to make one wall for it that has a stove jack.
Gamer do you have a link to the Craigslist industrial canopies ? I bought a canopy from WalMart a couple of years ago if that packs it in I will be looking for something a little beefier .
