Opinions/options on canvas tent with stove in the center

[Seth1913]

I’l really like the thought of the stove in the center for even warmth and just wanted to see what other’s experience is and what other models I may be missing. Usually 3 or 4 of us sharing camp. Looking through Rokslide I’ve found the following:

I have the 12x12 Ellis Prairie with the stove close to the center and it works well. 3 cots is doable, not 4.

I have a couple yurt type tents and a couple wall tents, all of them are canvas. They all have stove jacks, the hurts pretty close to center, the wall tents in a corner. They all work well.

If it's exceptionally cold, like below zero, you can feel the chill in any of them if the stove burned down and only has coals. But it's never been enough to wake me. But then, I typically wake a couple times every night (even at home); I simply refill the stove with wood when I wake, open the damper to get it going well, then reset the damper and go back to sleep.

The biggest issue to me is a tent rain cover with a stove jack to keep the canvas dry if it rains.

Any pictures of it setup?

Yeah the reason I like those models with the stove in the center is usually the guy closest to the stove is roasting while the furthest is freezing. Nothing beats a wood stove for sleeping good.

Anyone use the Montana canvas lodge tent?

I’ve used the 11x11 amd 14x14 Shackletons with 3 and a stove down into the negatives and it was comfortable for everyone. It works great for 3, not ideal with 4 but I think you could fit a cot partially in front of the door and make it work
