Well, my dads tent may not be nearly is big as EKM's, but it does serve its purpose for only my dad and I to go hunting in for a week or more. We only use wood for heat, as it is a cheap way to heat the tent, we just cut the wood on site and use it there. We have never used coal to burn, but you would have to find a way to keep it from directly contacting the sides and bottom of the stove. The propane is kept outside and all cooking is done outsite, that is until we get another tent, then the cooking will be done in a separate tent. Here is a pic from 2002, the first year that we used this tent.
