Also had a bad experience with a pellet stove.  I will never give another chance to a gravity fed pellet stove, to dangerous in my opinion.

Had a serious n Idaho elk camp I socialize with use one this last season and it was a failure.  It was the one the safe company sells at the Big Horn Show.  It burned fine however it would not put out nearly enough heat.  I have since heard the same feedback multiple times as I researched whether I wanted to go down this route with my wall tent.  All feedback was the same from independent sources, not enough heat.

My input would be to consider how you can get the most heat radiating off it.

The one we used (brand unknown) put out plenty of heat for my 14x17x5 walltent but it took a long time for the stove to get hot enough to radiate the heat.  One nice thing about wood is once you get a fire going it is hot pretty fast.  Safety issues is what turned me off to them.  Wood for this guy!

Wood stoves are fool proof, and the fuel is free. Besides, who does'nt like jumping on their saw and splitting rounds?

We had one made for our late hunt and it was plenty warm enough.  It could cook us out of our 12 x 20 tent sometimes.  We did have one blow out which was not pleasant.  I don't think it saves money, maybe time cutting firewood. We had to get more bags a few times.  It took a while to figure out how to get a bag to last all night but we did. The stove is still to heavy so I don't know if you can put it on a lighter one.

I have no experience in pellet stoves. Is 40 pounds normal for a night. Seems like an awful lot.

NO KIDDING!.. no thanks...my stove weighs 17 lbs..I buy North ID energy logs and burn them 2 a night is all it takes to keep my tent warm from 5pm till am..$3.20 a night

We tried one a few years ago.  Didn't put out enough heat, were back to wood.
