The wood stove is a Better’n Ben’s, brick lined and 3/8” plate construction. It’s a heavy sucker but it draws and dampers well and holds heat all night.
The gas range is fully functional right down to the oven and broiler. We use the oven to bake biscuits, hams, and turkeys, as well as scratch made cornbread and the occasional pot pie.
This year we had pretty cold temps, it was 9deg several mornings. There’s been years where it’s been brutally cold staying in the low teens for highs but not in the last couple decades. The black plastic sheeting covering the tent in the above picture not only helps shed snow but is remarkably effective at trapping heat in the tent as well as catching the sun and heating the tent during the day.
