I have an 8person Seek Outside tipi and it holds 3 cots easily without the woodstove. With the woodstove I have only had two people in it, and you want to be careful with all the sleeping bag slop that you don't melt anything. My tipi and stove are for sale right now if you are interested.

I have the XL stove that Seek Outside makes and it is large enough to go for a few hours unattended if you use bigger chunks of wood. I take a hand saw.

I used this tipi elk hunting in a special area where I was using and ATV to get in about 7 miles to make a base camp in September archery season in Montana. My wall tent would not have stayed on the ATV, and it is very hard for me to set up alone. The cylinder wood stove weighs 54 lbs alone! So the tipi and titanium woodstove setup allowed me to cook/warm up/bath at night, and then I usually just went out in the mornings without firing it up. The tipi doesn't hold heat and neither does the wall tent as someone else pointed out.
