I thought of making a port hole for the stove, but, know I would manage to screw it up :chuckle:
This is probably what I will go to next

Actionshooter, I had planned on 2, but may have 3. With 3 we will add a tarp to stow gear and perhaps sit under by a fire. I had myself and my dog in it on a scouting trip and we had tons of room. 3 and a stove will be tight and hard with all our gear, especially if its wet. With 3, I think we need to be more diligent to protect our sleeping bags from wall condensation that will form during the night. I'm not anticipating a floor, but will use Tyvek-type house wrap under the sleeping pads/bags.
Tonymoe, I am very happy with the stove jack. They design it well. It has a small flap on the outside to add a bit more protection to the "up-hill side" of the tent and a small strip on the top edge for better rain protection.
Iceman and Huntnpool, thank you.

Tonymoe, if you decide to add a stove jack, I would suggest having Laurie Cantonwine doing the sewing. She is in Vancouver and used to do all of REI's sewing before they changed to a shop that had a storefront. She still sews outdoor gear and has done a nice job on every piece of torn and broken gear I've taken her. If interested, I'll get you her contact information.
info would be awesome. can I add a stove jack? is it after market add on? Now you gots me wheels spinning again

The photo below shows the small flap that adds additional protection to the high-side of the tent. The outside trim is velcro for attaching the raincover when not using the stove. On the top of the jack is a small velcro strip sewn to the tent to increase the weather protection by covering the top velcro "seam" when the rain cover is on. (The perspective makes the pipe look outrageously long; its not.)

The stove is a Kifaru design: https://www.kifaru.net/stoves2009.html. That stove was designed by Ed Tyanich, who built mine. He built them for Kifaru for 7 years, but doesn't anymore. Ed builds and sells stove on his own when he has time. You can find him on this forum: http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/3238589/Filters_or_drops#Post3238589 as "Ed T." I just picked a thread that I knew he had replied on. If you search the site, you will find that he posts answers to lots of backpack hunting questions. He is a very helpful and knowledgeable guy.
