I actually bought the Gen because its better to have and not need verses need and not have. So I'll use it for what ever need arises but the wife don't enjoy the cold so a heater for our kodiak canvas tent seems like an easy solution(albeit pricey). I would prefer wood stove or even the diesel heaters but they have issues all their own. We do also have the Mr buddy Big buddy but we all know the condensation issues those bring. There is no stove jack on the Kodiak tents.
