Tent Stove recommendations - need input

[bz_711]

Which style of stove would you recommend for a 12x14 or 12x12 wall tent for Elk Camp?
-Camp Chef barrel stove like https://www.reliabletent.com/index.cfm?page=detail&Product_ID=200&CATID=20

or

-Kni-Co Alaskan Camp Stove like http://www.kni-co.com/alaskan.shtml

Just need decent heat, ease of operation, and would like to get as many years out of it as possible. It would be for a truck accessed camp.

Thank,
Matt

I have always made my stove out of a 30 gallon steel barrel and this stove kit (link below). You can find barrels on craigslist for next to nothing. I have used the same one for the last 6 years.

the Alaskan worked great in mt 12x12 Alaknak II. in Covelo 2008.

I have the packer size and Wish I had the Alaskan back....

I have a stove similar to the reliable stove and have owned the alaskan previously. I think you would find both would do very well, but the reliable will maintain the heat longer...Check out the cabelas bargain cave as they run the same reliable stove on sale for $169 at times.
