When we use a stove, we don't pack in. Dropping out of a pickup. I was actually considering putting the pellet feeder on a stove of my own construction.
With cylinder stove, I strongly suggest getting one size bigger stove than they actually recommend. I am not knocking the stove, but the smaller stoves don't hold a fire as well as the bigger stoves.

Wacker, I have a 12x14 wall tent and plan on getting the Hunter model. Cylinder says it is good for tents between 10x12 - 14x16 so I figured I will be okay staying with the Hunter stove. The next one up is for tents between 15x15 and 16x20 and I can't see needing to go quite that big. Do you still disagree? I am interested in your thoughts before I buy and it sounds like you have some experience with this. The bigger stove also weighs at least 12lbs more at 54lbs for just the stove.

I have the 28x18x14 cylinder stove and also have the pellet attachment for it. Problem is I got the pellet attachment right after last season so I will let you guys know how it goes this year. As far as how they operate Fishing is for fools knows a little about them. He has mine right now. We also got the new oven that is the cylinder as well instead of the box stove. I can tell you that because of the dual bi pass it cooks a lot better.
As soon as you know and can write a review on it, please do. I'm trying to hold off from the purchase untill I get some insight. Thanks BC CHASER

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?

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 ?
