Me and a buddy have Kodiak tents. Mine is the 10x10 It is perfect for 1 guy, cot, the dog, table for kitchen and a propane heater. His is the 10x14 it is perfect for 2 cots, kitchen and propane heater. Both are easy to set up. We have looked at the woodstove idea for them. Not really enough room. You could do 1 cot and a woodstove in the 10x14. I just run a mr buddy heater while i'm up. turn it off when I crawl in the cot. Or run a infrared heater if its real cold. We where chukar hunting in 15 below last year, A bit chilly. but survivable.

"You could do 1 cot and a woodstove in the 10x14." That would be a real quick truck camping set up that I would probably use a ton. After it's all said and done though, might just be better off with the Selkirk from WTS.
A guy could make a sheet metal stove jack that fits in the upper corner of a zipper doorway. No need to sew anything in if you did not want to. You will see what I mean if you look at a kodiak

I have run Montana canvas range tents, ok but I hated the plastic floor, they were heavy and not all that carefully made or designed, sold it.
Also had a Cabelas Bighorn, good idea, but still heavy, cheaply made and not all that durable, and never did warm up to the nylon fabric. Sold it.
I also have several seek outside tipis/tents. Very nice, and my first choice if I have to carry my tent. But sil-nylon, isn't all that durable, looses heat fast and there is generally some condensation. Also the stoves in a ultralight tipi are great, but they don't hold a hot fire for too long. They are great to dry out you, or your stuff, but a pain (if for some crazy reason) you need your tent to stay at 60 deg all night.
My favorite tent as far as ease of setup, quality and livability is a line of light weight canvas tents by David Ellis, in Durango, CO. They are hand built in CO, with the best quality and design I've seen, weigh between 25 and 60 pounds with the poles and are easy to set up and take down. You can run a stove in them, get screened windows if you want them, etc. They are called the Torrent and the Prairie. They come in something like 9x9 to 12x15. It would be worth your time to take a look at his website. I don't think you can beat canvas for comfort in a hunting tent. I have two of them, love'em. He uses the same fabric as snowtrekker, just in some different designs that might be better for hunting tents.
Rented a 12x14 Davis Tent and wood stove from a guy who wasn't hunting this year on our elk hunt for $100. Best C note ever spent. The Mrs. is convinced THAT is the way to go. I have to agree. Will be in the market for a Davis Tent when they go on sale or if I can find a used one I like.
I'm pretty sure the 12x14 might be on the big side for some outings but should be the size I am after. The one I rented had the traditional poles vs the interior pole with rafter set up. I had no issues putting it up with minimal help.
Can you guys give me some opinions on the Doors/Windows/Storm Flaps. Thinking about going with 12x14 Water/Mildew treated Davis Tent with a storm flap and screen on the front door and a window on the back wall. I live in AZ so want some circulation for warmer times and a screen to keep the bugs out. I hunt in August and September for up to 14 days at a time and would like to maximize comfort within reason.
Been eaten alive by skeeters during late August/early Sept archery deer hunt. Gotta have them screens I think. The one I rented had double doors, no screens, windows or stormflaps. Nice for October, no doubt.
I believe the "storm flap" you are referring to Davis calls a Colorado Door. I would make sure to have that because if a zipper blows out you can still keep the door closed. Keep an eye on Denver Craigslist and you'll find some deals. I have a 14x16 with internal frame and can set it up by myself in less than 35 minutes and it makes the tent more open.
this stove was designed over 2 years ago and i introduced the first proto pictures on september 20th , 2013 it is easily the fastest and easiest stove out right now one piece with nothing removable but the stove pipe and it folds flat as a notebook
