I’ve got a Springbar 10x14 older Vegabon (at least 15 years old) damn thing is bomb proof. Got mine long before Kodiak came into the picture.  I installed a stove jack in mine before it was a thing. I didn’t care for the buddy heater and the condensation if the hunting weather was wet out. I bought a vented propane stove called the Nuway. I should have bought the larger size stove but mine keeps the tent comfortable during early muzzy seasons. The downside of the Nuway stove is it really burns through the propane. I just bought a stove package from Winnerwell wood stove. I have not used it yet but the stove is just about right for the size tent. Here’s a picture of the tent and Nuway stove

I’ve got a flexbow 10x14. You’ll be hard pressed to dry much with those in there. But they sure gage the edge off in the mornings. I turn over in the AM and fire it up for a good 20 mins before I get up, and it’s nice.

I had a stove Jack put in to my flexbow and run a small stove in there if I’m camping in rough weather.
If You don’t mind me asking who did you have put your stove Jack in I called the company in Southwest Washington in camas and all they did was talk down Kodiak canvas and said they weren’t interested in putting a stove jack in and said the zippers are garbage more or less and They charge $300 to replace the zippers when they give out. Then suggested one of their tents for me to buy instead.

A bunch of years ago now I had a stove jack put in an older canvas tent by Tacoma Tent & Awning. A few years later I had them replace the zipper & resew the seams in the same tent. They did a great job at a reasonable price. They’re on G St in Tacoma, near Stadium High School

Beckel Canvas in Portland. I had it done probably 5-6 years ago. I don’t think it was much. Under 100$ if I remember right. They’ve built a couple wall tents for us. No problems.

OK tent is supposed to be here Monday, Beckel canvas in Oregon will install the stove jack. Has anybody set up an awning tarp system to cover the tent and have a dry place in front like a wall tent for week long trips?

Looks like I’m still looking for someone to do it. Beckel canvas has had it for a month and apparently they can’t do it in a Kodiak canvas something about the canvas material

Just get a tarp whatever size you need & some poles.

Kodiak canvas flexbow tents have been around since 2006.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
