Best tent with a stove

Never weighed it. My guess is Alaska Gear is in the ball park. However the floor saver is heavy for sure. Rough guess would be 25-27 all in.
Unfortunately I'm not in the mood to dig a path to the storage shed and find the tent and weigh it.
That bringa it in under the weight of the cabelas guide tent, aside from the price, I wonder why more guys aren't trying this out.
Did you find any major negatives using it?

Never used it yet.
The reason I purchased it was:
1. To use on ATV or moose floats hunts where I expected temperatures in the 20-60F range. Should be good for spring hunts as well
2. No severe winds
3. Easy to set up.
4. Not as heavy or as bulky as the Arctic Oven
5. Wood stove ready, plus it has a inside liner

Why aren't more using it? Good question. It is pretty new on the market. In general Arctic Ovens are not inexpensive. Most guys who buy one might be done spending money on a tent. Living in Alaska I am lucky enough to go to their store and view their products on display. Lucky for me I noticed this tent, and the sale price ($1200) when I ordered it.
 
We took a Seek Outside Cimarron with a Ti stove and used it to store gear, dry out, cook, and hang out during the day and each took our own 2-man freestanding tents (Kuiu Mountain Star) to sleep in. To me, this set up was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. I've used the Cimarron and other floorless shelters quite a bit over the years as my primary shelter and have decided I much prefer to have my own sleeping tent and prefer it to be freestanding double wall tent with a floor. Everything is more organized, cleaner, dryer and I sleep better.

One other thing to consider is size of foot print. Theres no way we could have fit anything larger than the Cimarron in the areas we had to camp.
