I plan on using my new MSR Hubba Hubba NX pitched without the floor with a canister stove inside with proper ventilation. I've never tried an ultralight tipi style tent but most of them are designed to be used with stoves.

Sawtooth ! I've had doubts about every piece of my gear except for my Sawtooth and Duplex pack frame. I replaced a bunch after my first trip west and I'm working on my kit again this year but the Sawtooth has never been in question. I hit a home run in my first at bat with the Sawtooth.

I have a six man seek outside and a medium stove that works great for two guys and gear.

I also have a para tipi and a small stove. It will work for two guys, but it's really better as a solo.

Currently running a SeekOutside Lil'BugOut with a 3-piece vestibule and stove. Plenty of space for 2 guys in there. Three of us are headed to CO this fall, and it'll be an LBO base+tarp+base setup since one of the other guys has an LBO base as well.

Beast have you used the cimarron? I've been eyeing it lately.
Not yet tips. I was talking to Angie and Kevin about it as they were building it and have been excited about it ever since Angie brought it up. I will be using one in Nevada this year if all goes as planned. My hunting partner just ordered one.

Not really the best stove friendly setup. Great for two people who don't mind not being able to stand up and don't need a stove.

Interesting. I bought one specifically for this setup (getting a small wifi stove), and find that it's incredibly spacious even with the stove area (the entire annex end) blocked off. Like surprisingly spacious. Granted, my hunting partner and I are both sub 5'10", but still.

EDIT: I admit I care about weight exponentially more than the ability to stand up right next to a center pole

Nothing to do with space. The mega is definitely mega. A stove is a little more efficient in the center of a shelter instead of one end. Nothing wrong wrong with the mega/stove combo just not the "best" option in my opinion. There are a ton of guys that run that setup and it works great for them.

Weight difference between a megatarp with the annex and the Cimarron will be right at a half pound. For me being able to stand up next to the center pole and have more heat giving stove pipe inside the shelter along make me lean towards the sawtooth or Cimarron. The Megatarp is a great shelter but I feel adding the annex and putting at stove in it takes away from what makes it so great.
