Looking for suggestions/help selecting a stove kit w/4" pipe for my cabelas big horn III tent. been looking around at different options but would like to hear from people that use them, as this will be my first.

I have a Kwik Kamp and love it, built "hell for stout".  Cylinder stoves are also great.

    What size is a Cabelas Big Horn III.    A 4 inch pipe is pretty small and will not draw like a 5 or 6.  I have 6's in all my stoves and there is nothing like seeing the glow and hearing it draw in all conditions.  During an inversion the 4 might be hard to draw.  Just an idea from an old gray haired guy that has been there.   The cylinder design is good and reasonably priced they have the nesting pipe to 5inch atthe top.

Another vote for Kwik Kamp. We have them for each of our tents.

You should run the "outfitter" size cylinder stove to maintain heat allnight in a tent that size.
