Cylinder Stove Pellet Feeder question???

[BC CHASER]

I have the outfitter stove with a 16x20 wall tent.
I like it hot and I have been comfortable every time out, my buddies were sweating evry night till they figured out how to put up a barrier wall in side to block the radiating heat.

Firts year I took it out to use we camped over a weekend out at Oak Creek out  by Lil Naches, mid january and It was the first time for my tent as well.
It was a factory second tent but the price was right unfortunately for me it was the side wall hieght that was messed up it was shorter than it said so I had longer side poles leaving about a 3-4 inch gap to the ground. Middle of the winter cold  snowy we still stayed warm that night even with the ocassional breeze.
Probably would have been real cold if not for being elevated on cots.

It out to work reaL good.
after the last couple seasons of really learning the stove and what it can do properly loaded up and damped just right this baby can keep it nice and cozy all night long.

 




Did you end up cutting your poles shorter so the tent did not have the gap?  Cots can actually make it colder because you have the cold air under you as well.  What brand tent do you have?

of course I cut the tent poles down as soon as I got home

the fact we were on cots elevated us up like how it is always hotter nearer the ceiling it was luck we had that 16-18 inches or I bet we wouldv'e been in a heap
the ground was frozen covered in snow and Ice where we set up since there was no alternative with good ground
I have and had then a good floor out of marine grade carpet made it water  or ice melting proof in this case

the tent I cant picture what is on the bag off the top of my head But my guess is  a "reliable" or something like that it's all canvas not relite or anything fancy it just had that one dimension off it was awesome after I fixed it and has been ever since.
Maybe it was my fault in the beginning I never put a tape measure on those poles after that to see what I trimmed them too I just matched one up and marked it and cut all the rest the same.
so who knows ?

You can also put straw down and a tarp over it, it will act as insulation.  Cots are great as long as you have the heat, otherwise you are better off on a pad.

I put pad on top of a cot too. I am spoiled or rather I spoil my back . in fact if I  could make my full queen size pillow top squeeze down small enough I'd have packed that sucker too.

Anyone have any updates on this?  Was hoping to get some experienced input on this on how they really work after a portion of the hunting season has gone by.  If anyone has some info I would appreciate it.

Well I was down at Cabelas last weekend.  Actually friday night.  Bought myself another cot, gun case, 6-pack of propane tanks and low and behold they had a Outfitter Pkg. Cylinder Stove there.  Snagged it.  I figure I can order the pellet feeder from Cylinder Stove website and add it on as it is a different design than what Cabelas is selling.  Not sure why that it is but after talking to some other folks and Cylinder Stove company themselves it appears they have the bugs worked out.  I appreciate all the input here.
