[QUOTE="big johnson, post: 2699671, member: 116259"] wow so many different opinions. No one is wrong or right. Our elk camp just had our 50th , 4th generation Anniversary in the same camp. Iv'e had wood ,oil, propane and no heat. warm and cold weather. One thing for sure (size does matter) tent size that is . From my experience a 14x16'x5' tent tarped all the way to the ground is the max to heat in really cold temps. I made a airtight wood stove out of a 24' well casing that held a 12"x24" long log plus split logs on the side and it would last about 6hrs in cold weather. Somebody has to cut wood!!!!!! We used a pellet stove once, but we had to have a generator to make it work (extra gas to have on hand ) We put up 5 wall tents for up to 21 guys and use 2 different heat sources. I use a 35,000 btu Empire propane heater with a thermostat and I use a Echo fan to move air through the tent . I take 2 100lbs / 25 gallon tanks. No mess, no fuss. The other tents use the old oil stoves like spark and sigular with a 30 gallon drum of stove oil on a stump (gravity flow ) really warm ,but stink and we all know what diesel smells like.
