[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 2686123, member: 91402"] Stay away from propane in cold weather unless you like getting rained on inside your tent. Our tents were home made from those portable garages they sell at hardware stores. We just shortened them to be seven feet at the peak. The higher the roof the lower the temperature near the floor. The longest we ever set up was 30 feet for a 300 sq.ft. floorspace. We used two tarps over the frame because that extra tarp added quite a bit of warmth by trapping air in between. The stoves were the ones we bought used from people who upgraded to more modern ones. In other words, stoves designed to heat a house. A nice touch is the glass front for light at night and being able to see how much wood is left to burn. They were heavy so we extended the legs and put a two wheels on them so we could tilt them back and wheel them. Dry your wood. Wet wood not only doesn't give good heat but it clogs your chimney is just a few days. As for lasting all night, out of a group of four, even young men, someone is going to be getting up at night, and the rule is you must fill the stove if you get up. With older men it's even less a problem. [/QUOTE]
