We added this to the back of our tent for attaching the stove pipe, very secure.

The stove is a kni-co alaskan with the shelf and water tank. I'll still need to burn the oils off it beforehand.
The tent is 10x12 with 2 screened windows and a screened front door, aluminumframe. I think it's a local polar bear one. I had a polar bear tent in the past that we never used. Seems the same in the exact same bags. No porch unfortunately. Thinking we'll get a pop up canopy for cooking under.
When in doubt, just pin it.
I've owned two wall tents over the years and never used them, but this time I'm dedicated to using it regularly. Planning to set it up this weekend and get the tarp, ropes, bungies, and pegs all sorted out. The fellow I bought it from showed me how to masking tape the frame joints as you go to keep it from disassembling while being set up. Fingers crossed.

I bought a 'First up' 10x10 pop up about 12 years ago at Walmart. At that time you could buy a wall kit for it. That little shelter has been nothing but good to me for 10 years. I've used it as a kitchen, sleeping quarters, quad shelter and more recently a drying room as I cut a stove hole in the roof and put a small cheap Princess Auto wood stove in it.
Butted up to your tent it'd be a great kitchen, wood shed or any number of uses.
My tent has the vent hole out the side, but up near the top. Am I right in thinking it should turn vertical again once it exits the tent? Luckily my stove came with the vent cap/screen thing. I'm wondering if I need a step ladder to check that it's not blocked after some use.

That's awesome. I've been looking at a 10x10 canopy at cabelas. It was just on for 1/2 price but I was indecisive and it's back up to $199. I'll wait for another sale on one. It's tempting to maybe cook in the wall tent but I'm worried about food smells/bears.

Interesting point, as I've heard that it's good to have a bottle of water handy when using a wood stove in case a person wakes up and needs a drink from dryness.
To be honest I hadn't thought of a fire extinguisher, but will buy one as it'll work better than my usual bucket of water.
