RainGearRight	01/10/2012 09:03AM Thanks for all the replys guys. I set the tent up yesterday and was a bit nervous on the condition it was going to be in since it had been so long and I wasn't sure if I had dried it out enough. It looked pretty good if in need of a wash. There is a 18" long stripe of bare canvas along the roof that was patched but needs attention. Also, the stove pipe hole is on the wall, not the roof. I was thinking of taking it to Duluth Pack and having them sew a permanent patch on the roof and maybe sewing up the side hole and putting the pipe hole on the roof. I guess I'm asking if I should bother with this or leave it alone. Sorry for the wall of text and if you've read this far congratulations!
Arlo Pankook	01/10/2012 08:26AM I love my Sheepherders stove from Cabelas, I even use it to heat my sauna. The legs fold up, it's not real heavy and I purchased the nesting stove pipe that fits into the firebox. Stove
Minnesotian	01/10/2012 08:16AM Rain, I got a 10x12 tent and got a Kni-Co Alaskan stove for it. Does a good job. This last week I had access to a metal bender and made a false bottom for it. Got the idea from here: Winter Treking Community
Sparetime	01/09/2012 08:35PM Depending on how adventurous you are, you could build one. There are some plans on the net. I purchased some sheet steel ( not galvanized ) had the metal supplier bend it into a 10 x10 inch box, then went to town with the pop rivets and made a stove. I have test fired it, but not a real test in the tent yet. Spent less than $40 bucks on it. Food for thought.
catfish72	01/08/2012 11:30PM quote RainGearRight: "I have a 10x12 canvas wall tent that I want to get wood stove for. Does anybody have a recommendation on these? I know next to nothing about these and any info would be great." I have two Kniko stoves. I heat a 10x10 wall tent with the Alaskan model. it works fantastic. its pretty light and travels well. I am sure it would heat a 10x12 just fine. I bought mine at cabelas both were out of the bargain cave. so the price was good.
butthead	01/08/2012 04:15PM Four Dog Stoves is another source, Wall Tent has a lot of info. butthead
RainGearRight	01/08/2012 02:49PM Thanks PK. Exactly what I was looking for
PortageKeeper	01/08/2012 01:52PM Kni-co would be my first pick. Use their suggestion regarding size for your shelter.
