Backpack wood stove tents

[ReaptheHeat]

I'm looking at transferring over from a traditional backpacking tent to a tarp style tent with a stove jack. I have a wall tent with a stove that I love and coming back to dry everything out is nice. I'd like to have a similar experience while working out of a backpack.

Does anyone use one? Is the UL stove a gimmick and do you find yourself leaving it at home? Looking for good options for a 1-2 person setup. This has been on my radar https://argalioutdoors.com/collections/tents/products/lemhi-3p-tent

Thanks.

I think it’s a game changer especially in bad weather.

If you are on the west slope you can borrow my cimarron and stove to try anytime you want.

A stove is great, but you need to consider your campsite location and keep it close to wood sources. The further you have to go for wood, the more time it takes away from hunting, as does prepping the wood and collecting/prepping wood in the dark sucks. Get a good-sized saw, like a Silky 170+ or Boreal 20+, and a good knife is nice to have as well for battoning wood.
Depending on the temps, you're gonna need a lot of wood, since the stoves burn it up fairly fast. Having 2 doors in your tent/tarp is a must, IMO, for getting wood inside without making a mess in the sleeping area.
