Stoves and cots

[zpruden]

So a while back I posted about tents I was looking to buy. I ended up going with the big horn 3 with the vestibule, all in all I'm pretty happy with my buy. I have set it up and used it a few times this summer with the family and have figured out a few tricks to setting it up. Know I am looking at getting a stove and some cots for the tent, and am wondering what other people use?

So I am looking for info on a good stove to put in there, and if anyone out there has any experience with the disc-o-bunk bed cots

Had the Cabelas Alaskan Guide cots. They were nice, fairly heavy but sturdy. Sold them this year and bought the disc o bed bunk set. Have not used them yet in camp, but I set the tent up and put all my gear in. The extra room the bunk system gives you is very nice. I find them to be more comfortable than the cots.

I use the Outfitter model of the Cylinder stove with the five gallon water jacket. Load it up with dry Larch and it will keep a slow burn for most of the night with a good bed of coals left in the morning. Previously had a Riley stove, nice and light but not particularly airtight. Never held heat for more than a few hours at night. Usually was up a couple of times to stoke it.

I have the Cabelas guide cots and the disco cots. both are comfortable, especially with foam mattress (also cabelas). the disco is a big space saver. we have four sleeping in a 12*12 alaknak tent (yes I am a walking cabelas advert).

If you don't do much cooking on the stovetop then the home hardware tin stoves work fine (Great West metal). A layer of sand/gravel in the bottom keeps them from burning out and a coat of wd-40 for storage and they'll last a long time. They're fairly cheap and work fine.

found a post on craigslist under RVs and Camp. A guy out in Chilliwack has some pretty cool looking brand new stoves for $300. Haven't checked it out as I'm already in the process of building my own, but they look nice...

lots of capacity and burns all night on those - 15 hunts with everyone adding would when they take a leak. Unless your space restricted or physically not average a normal $100 cot is all you need.
