Don't have to treat. I want to say a rep with Kodiak said somewhere around the 15-20 year mark unless you live in it full time. Don't quote me on that though. After years in mine, I'm nowhere near ready or needing to coat.

I remember talking to a rep, and he said the same thing about the treating (or lack there of). I have at times during later seasons, hung a tarp higher and off of the tent. Just for added protection and life. Even tho the rep said don't even worry about it.

I'm running a 5" nesting stove pipe, so 5" at the stove and necking down to 4" at the end of the pipe where the spark arrestor goes. I believe I had Yakima tent and awning install a 5inche stove jack and it fits perfectly.

They do look nice! For a light weight option, they would be great. They won't hold the heat as long as the others though. Also, looks like the largest one has a 4" pipe so that's the size stove jack I'd install. The two smaller ones are 3" I believe. And I'd feel confident that even the smallest of the three would heat the Kodiak plenty.

I went with the Kni-Co stove, Alaskan jr model and 5 inch pipe. Very lightweight also and all the pipe fits inside of it.  Its a decent stove for a cheaper option. It'l get you by for sure, and blow you out of the kodiak canvas if need be. Ive looked at the four dog stoves and they look awesome. At some point I'm sure I'll upgrade to one of those. Having a stove in these kodiak tents is great!

Nice Kodiak set-ups.
I used mine for the first time in early deer camp.
I Love it!

I watched a bunch of youtube vids on care and maintenance make by a dealer down in Australia. Lots of very good solid advice. Other than the initial water cure there is no having to "treat the canvas all the time."
The other posters here are correct. The guy that claimed that is an idiot. The biggest thing for this part of the country is to NOT STORE THEM WET!!

I sure would have liked to use the stove during early season this year. Wouldn't have needed it till the final days of the season, but it sure would have been nice. But figured why bother with the fire ban. Packed up a day early with 8" of snow on the ground. Tent got one of its strongest workouts in years w it's several days and nights of buffeting winds!
I was mentally prepared to take shelter in my car if the tent collapsed. It held up splendidly! Mr heater had a heck of a workout too!

May be a silly question....I have a buddy heater...anyone every worry about co poisoning? Tent does not seem drafty, and I know they are suppose to be indoor safe...but...whats your experience with a biddy heater in a Kodiak Flex Bow? I though about hooking up to a large tank outside with a hose to run the Buddy...

The Kodiak has vents at the top of each end wall, plus any of the four windows can be vented. That said, I've run my buddy heater over the years without any problems. Ran it through the night several night in a row during early season (temps in th 20s and high winds).

I run my little buddy heater just about every morning inside of it for about 30 mins or so ( I like it warm before I crawl out of my bag and get dressed  :chuckle: ) and no problems.

Wev ran my dad's big buddy off of a big propane tank ran from outside before also. Works great. Haven't ran either during the night while asleep. Don't think I would anyway. Warm enough sleeping bag is more than enough.
