If you go this route you will want elevated cots so you can stack gear under the cots, it is tight with two guys.
The reason we are going to put a stove in is a "funny story" while elk hunting this year our buddy heater quit working, we turned it from high to medium and it shut off and we could not get it to relight. We lite the cook stove just to keep from freezing but after a couple hours I was pretty miserable and started trying to figure out the buddy heater, after getting thoroughly frustrated my brother started working on the buddy heater and took the propane bottle off and on a few times, being cold and tired we did not think of the possibility that propane had been leaking into the shelter and could be ignited by the cook stove, of course that is exactly what happened, our shelter went from 15 degrees to about 100 degrees as a fireball engulfed the inside, the condensation which had frozen to the roof started to rain down on us as our lungs filled with the results from the explosion and our nostrils were filled with the smell of burnt hair. The shelter seemed a bit off kilter but I couldnt figure out why, after gathering my head I realized the bottom of the shelter was now resting on my cot, we had blown the shelter up in the air and it more less came down in the same place. Lesson learned, just go with wood.
