Whats the best tent Woodstove ??

[riden]

I have always wanted to go hunting with the use of a large prospector tent as a shelter (like when we go on fishing excursions).... but my hunting partners have always convinced me that it would be difficult to dry off your clothes thoroughly, which would result in heading out the following morning with damp/humide clothes.

Are you guys saying my buddies are wrong? Are you guys going out in milder weather?
Are there still traces of humidity in your clothes when you guys head out in the morning?
what if it's raining, do you guys recuperate nicely in a prospector style tent (with either a wood or propane stove) overnight?
do the interior walls/roof of tent get covered with humidity when heating?

They are dead wrong.

It is warm and DRY as a bone inside. It is such a small area to heat and wood is such a dry heat. I find it almost too dry. My son has an insulated, one piece camo suit. He fel in the drink and we had it dry by morning.

If you stay sober enough to hang your clothes up before you hit the cot, you are laughing.

I can only speak for wood not Fogducker's damn propane, where the hell did he come from with that?? Who asked about propane anyway???

We use a big blue tarp over the whole tent to eliminate condensation, and its dry and toasting all night, usually 0 to -10 at night. We hang a wooden dowel from the center pole that runs along the peak. Hang your wet clothes on coat hangers from the dowel, and there dry in the morning, with a woodstove. I can't say for propane.

This is what we use in prospector tents.

The 24" model. It's light, cheap, throws out plenty of heat. Make sure you put a layer of sand on the bottom of the stove, it saves the floor of the airtight.

Start it with the dry under branches from a black spruce, light her up and you're good to go.

Deakin Equipment are the BEST equipment suppliers for bush camps that I know of. I don't use anyone else.

Ask for Susan or Evan, they've been in the business for years and service to the customer is #1 to them.

We have ours built out of heavy wall 24" diametre yellowjacket pipe and is about 3 feet in length. First couple of burns-not in the tent-melted off the yellow plastic coating. Has a flat top, large front door. Keeps the tent (14x16x9.5x5w) super warm in the winter at the mountain sledding camp-even when the cold winter storms have hit us. Same with at moose camp. Holds heat very good.

Have had this stove for close to 10 years now.

The little stove I picked up at Campers Village keeps the 14x16 outfitter tent nice and warm and I have ben out in -23 or so and had no problems drying clothes, keeping coffee hot and staying comfortable. Some dry twigs, fill 'er up and throw a log in after the fire gets going and you are in good shape. I tend to cut more wood than I need so the next guy has some if he gets to camp late and choses the same spot.I usually dont have the fire going all night as it can get pretty warm in the tent but if you wanted to, that little stove would keep you warmer than if you were at home. Took me about 10 minutes to put it together and I put a layer of sand at the bottom of it so it doesnt get burned out. Its pretty much the same as crazy_daveys. I havent needed anything bigger.
