Hot Tent brands to consider?

[BigCountry344]

Finally pulling the trigger on one and know of kifaru, seek outside, lite outdoors, and luxe outdoors that make both a stove and shelter combo. Any other Brands that make both the stove and tipi to take a look at?

I'd skip right to the winnerwell stove unless you are the highest order gram weenie. I have a kifaru and lite outdoors stove that will likely be going up for sale after opening up the winnerwell. Yes it is more money and yes it is a fuzz heavier.....but it's like buying time. Setup and tear down time will be reduced by 10-20 minutes easily.....and their damper is pretty slick. I will miss the kifaru spark arrestor that can be cleaned inside the tent.

Don't be afraid of a used ti goat or Wyoming lost and found tent.

Of the ones you mentions I would go SO or Kifaru. Some of the others man seem good due to price but their customer service is questionable.

I bought a SO Cimmaron and Medium U Turn stove this year. Tons of room and the quality is awesome I have not owned or seen a Kifaru but there stuff is as solid as they come and Aron will back it. My Kifaru pack is crazy over built.

Are you backpacking with this system?

I have a SO tent and it is rarely used lately mostly because of the places I choose to hunt. I do see a huge benefit as a basecamp place to double back and have heat to dry off and get warm.

Backcountry then I'd go Kifaru, SeekOutside, LiteOutdoors or one of the other companies not listed. On a budget then the Luxe outdoors might be an option though they weigh nearly twice that of the "big brands"

Basecamp then I'd go free standing and big like Luxe Hercules, Cabelas Alaknak, Instinct, or Bighorn. Lately Luxe has my attention at about $300 less than Cabelas tents though if you play sales, active junky and discounted gift cards you can get them really similar in price. Depending on budget then I'd even go with a wall tent.
