I just got a deal on a lightly used Camp Chef barrel stove. I have a 10x12 40 year old Pioneer canvas tent and a 9x12 Egyptian cotton "sail silk" tent made by Canada Outfitters, an extinct Vancouver Company. Neither one is fitted yet with a chimney hole.
I'm wondering which tent to put the stove in.
The shorter one has five-foot walls, the other one three-foot walls. They are both roomy once set up, but the one with five-foot walls has more head room almost right to the walls.
The 10x12 canvas one has fabric that seems to be just a tad thicker than the silk one and might be more spark resistant and burn-proof than the silk one. I don't know, but with the five-foot wall the silk one seems more appropriate to put a chimney jack in.
Tough decision. At 70, I'm getting tired to sleeping in a damp pickup canopy after trying to get as warm as possible by the campfire before bed.
I'm open to advice.
