[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1260142, member: 80699"] Thanks for the reply! I talked with Alaska tent and tarp, as they sell both. They like the propane solution, but they said for a regular tent (ie not one of their AO's) of the size I have, they said even the largest propane stove would be marginal in some conditions, and would have to run flat out to do that job, using probably a pound of propane per hour. So in the end, he recommended the wood solution, even though it would mean sourcing wood. In Texas, where I live, the propane would be great and totally sufficient for our 'winters', if you can call them that. But I want a solution for more than Texas, so probably going wood. One thing T and T mentioned is that a larger wood stove in a regular tent is better for cutting humidity, something we have a lot of here. That said, I thought about what I need for the next month, and I think to save money in the immediate, I'll probably just get a few 0 degree bags for us to use here at home for our hunts right after Christmas. Then have the year to get the stove (maybe a spring sale or something) in preparation for a hoped for trip to colorado next year. That will give me more breathing room and research time to get this right the first time, but as of now, it looks like wood is probably my only sure solution. [/QUOTE]
