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 have a summer camping trip planned and want to try one out before you buy, you are welcome to borrow mine.

I have no problem keeping them warm with a Buddy on five gallon tank. I always keep a window half open for air. Five years no issues.
But if it’s raining and we are getting wet I am pulling the wood stove out of the box and setting it up.
A 10 x 12 with two guys on cots with a wood stove we do all the time. And really about the only way to dry clothes every day after a hunt.
Also I often choose the 10 oz tent with aluminum frame over the others, because it is less weight by at least 100 lbs.

The only person who has ever died from a Mr Buddy heater was in Kennewick. He was using an outdoor rated model, upside down and was cooking on it inside a van that he had sealed up to keep the cold out.

Duckman did you find a 10X14 yet?I haven’t even started looking yet waiting for my tent to sell. Looks like I’m leaning towards getting a Springbar 10 x 14 and for 100 bucks you can get a zip in stove jack.
If not shoot me a pm.

It really depends on the weather outside for drying your clothes. If the humidity is high, like western Washington in November, you can be warm, it it’ll take a long time to dry your clothes, and they might not dry completely. But if you’re in a place like Montana, where the humidity is much lower, your clothes will dry fine. This past November I used my little buddy in a plastic deer blind with the outside temp @ 0. I had it cranked on high & no moisture issues. But, for the size of tent you’re considering, I’d recommend at least the big buddy, and probably the little buddy also on the colder nights. I’d also recommend a CO monitor. I’ve never had a CO issue with mine, but it’s always good to be safe.
I had a MR Buddy set my CO alarm off in my Travel Trailer.
I have since switched to a CAMCO Olympian Wave unit and haven't had an issue since. Much better system for burning LP inside.
They are silent and don't give off the glow like a Mr Buddy does.

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.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
Thank you I will shoot them a call

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

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
Kodiak canvas flexbow tents have been around since 2006.

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
