Wall Tents

[sisu]

I won't suggest my tent as most of the people here don't like them but the stove to get in my humble opinion is a cylinder stove. We are pleased as punch with ours. I wish I'd of ordered the grate and probably will so I can burn charcoal if I need to.

(but the stove to get in my humble opinion is a cylinder stove.] used a borrowed cylinder stove 3 x in my cabelas wall tent, bought a 3 dog, 3 dog is good but the cylinder is better

Sisu,what kind of tent do you own? And Rideorange ,what qualities does the Cylinder stove posess that the 3 Dogs doesn't?

I own a cylinder stove, and for what ever reason the top has sunk down about 1/2 inch and is completely warped.  I cant put a pan or pot on top to cook because it is so warped.  I dont know whether I got a bad piece of steel that they constructed it with or what.  I like the stove it just hasnt held up.  I suppose I should call them.

Is this the one I almost bought from you bearhunter?  How's the new walltent you and your partner got?

Ya same stove, you want it now .  Im going to see what they will do for me, hopefully they will replace it.  Heres some pictures of our setup from this year in Montana.  Its a 16x23 Montana Canvas Blend tent.  10oz canvas roof with Relite sides.  Im pretty happy with it other than the Relite is a little bit louder in the wind, much lighter tent though.  The aluminum frame is worth its weight in gold!  I wish they had better bags for the frame set though.

Nice set up!!!!    I've been looking at a Summit Cylinder stove for a while now... I think I'm sold on it as well...

Nice setup!  Hope you guys did well this year over there.  My friend from work didn't have any success this year during archery elk there.  Said it was too warm where they were at.  I think I'll pass on the stove now  I'm actually thinking of getting one with a pellet feeder.  What are you using for the floor in that thing?

Here's A Possibilty:
If you burn the stoves too hot they can get cherry red and thats when they might warp, any portable stove you allow to get red hot could warp, just don't let them get that hot. Might have happened if you filled the stove and went to bed or left to go hunt.

Have used a Montana Canvas 12x17 for only two years but I can tell that it will last for as long as I will be hunting (20 plus years I hope). I know this because I still have my $49 dome tent that I bought from Target in 1990 and still use it. The nylon fabric is starting to wear thin but it has been the best 3-4 man tent!

p.s. Love my Cylinder stove, just remember to "burn" it out every now and then with a nice hot fire to keep the creosote down.

As a couple have state, the cylendar stove works very well.  2 of my buddies have them in their tents and they will run you out !  Load em up before bed, turn them down and you will have a fire in the morning on most occasions.  It also depends on what kind of wood your burning, Tamarack is the best if we can find it.

As for a tent frame.. Not sure how good you are at do it yourself, but you can save a TON of $$ if you build your own and its not that hard !  For the price that most dealers sell an internal frame for, you can build 2 yourself.

I plan on just getting the angle and cut kit.... That's what Davis Tent suggested as well....  Thanks!!!!

If you get a canvass tent and it is not treated, you can treat it with Thompson's original. This will make it last till you are dead if you store it properly.
In cold weather, put a plastic tarp over it and it will keep the tent warmer. You can use brass grommets to custom fit the tarp to the tent holes. Easy to install.
I hope this is easy to understand. If not and you need more info, PM me.

Just got the tax return....    I will be going over everything for the next week or so and making sure I'm getting exactly what I want... Plus checking prices on other equipment.... I'll let you all know what I order and how well the places I'll be ordering from handled my orders...  Pretty excited... I think I'm going to a few stores tonight and see if I can find a deal on some clearance hunting items...
