Default RE: stoves

Looking at buying a heat stove.
Go back to Davis and get the medium size cylinder stove.

Was wondering if anyone has had problems with them warping.
Neither of my Davis cylinder stoves have warped and theyhave both gotten quite hot.

Do you think a wall tent breathes anough to use a propane heater all night.
Sigh, perhaps so, but don't do it! Your life is too valuable (I think) and hunting partners with any sense will be highly suspicious and rightly uncomfortable with the idea. Don't do it.

I also heard that propane heat makes more condensation, is that true.
Not if it is vented to the outside via a flue.
Your greatest source of condensation in a tent comes from not having a good floor in the tent thus leaving exposed earth.

This will be my first year in a wall tent, been using a dome tent the last 3 years and it sucks.
Set up your wall tent while it is still cold this spring and test out the details now before you are on aremote/away from home elk hunt. Soak the tent with the garden hose to tighten up the stitching so it won't leak but make sure it is 100% dry before youput it away. Get a good rain fly for it so your tentstay warmer andwon't besubject to ember burns from the stove.
