Thanks for looking! I just bought a 10x12 panther primitive wall tent and in the process of researching a good wood stove for it (I looked at Wall Tent Shop- I liked the Idaho Stove, and Big Sky Canvas- I liked the Spruce Stove). I plan to take the tent up to the ADKs on a two week trapping trip in mid November for its maiden voyage…temps sometimes drop to single digits but typically teens (F). I like the idea of the water warming tank on the side of the stove. I’m hoping to use the tent/stove a bunch as well as setting it up at some primitive rendezvous (the stove doesn’t need to be period correct)… Thanks in advanced for any suggestions I can look into.

The best tent stove that I've ever had or been around was my M-1950 Yukon. Mine is a surplus stove that came with the collapsible pipe and a liquid fuel adapter. It all fits inside the stove and its lightweight. I didnt think I'd want the liquid fuel option until i tried it. A 5 gal jerry can of gas kept my 17ftx17ft canvas tent at 70 deg for a day when the outside temps were in the teens with heavy winds.

Take a look at Four Dog Stoves. I had their smaller 2 dog model in my 10x10 wall tent and it was a bit small for low teen temps when sleeping on the ground. (The upper part of the tent was plenty warm) You might want the larger model for the temps you expect to have. They also have the water tank option but keep in mind that it is a heat sink. A pot that you can put on and take off might make more sense. For awhile he was only making the titanium stoves but I see on the website the larger one (4 dog). These are really good stoves in my opinion. I’ve had 2 of them for years.

The only draw back to the water jacket is losing water overnite due to evaporation, If ya got lots of water on hand no problem. The stove heat is either boiling the water off or driving the evaporation rate. Either way it's adding moisture to the air in the tent and is a waste of energy because it's not going into heating the air. IMO a pot that you put on and take off makes more sense.

I will add to the confusion - here is a stove that I bought - it has a baffle in it - it burns more efficient Russian Bear wood stove
