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.

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.

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:

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

Kni-co would be my first pick. Use their suggestion regarding size for your shelter.

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!
