What would you think would be a good general size sheet metal wood stove for a 15x10 canvas tent?

I have a pair of 12X14 tents. I have a large cylinder stove from Davis tent and a 5 dog I bought from Scott F. Both work great. Smaller would work, but I like comfort.

You can also choose the brand of stove you want and give them your tent size. They'll know which size will work.

+1 But you are still going to want a good bag to sleep in because that stove wont burn all night. Unless you have a couple older guys in camp that get up to piss every few hours that can feed the fire. Then you are set for a good nights sleep

5 foot side walls are a must for me. A sod flap too. My tent is 14X 17. Zippers on each end. My stove is 14 X 14 X 24. I think it's made by Cozy-Camp Works great.

Just about any size is going to do the job, but the smaller, the less burn time. A good bed of ashes in it will increase burn time if you bank it down before turning out the lights.
I have a little Simms fold up about 10"x 10",x 20" and it heats a 12 x 15tent. It will run you out running full blast.

It will take a pretty damn big stove to burn all night with western softwoods.

I take a sleeping bag to elk camp. Once in the bag, I couldn't care less what my stove might be doing.

Amazing once a bed of coals is built up and you can bank the wood down and shut the stove down how long it will burn, Early morning the flame might not be there, but it is still putting out heat from the coals and metal box. Of course the stove needs to be pretty tight.

If you are holed up, what's to keep you from feeding the stove as needed?

Stoking the fire is always a good thing. A warm sleeping bag is a must just encase.

I use a old Sims sportsman in a 12X14 w/5' side walls and it works fine. As pointed out someone is always getting up to piss, they just add wood as needed. We take turns getting up stoking the stove when the alarm goes off @ 3 am....
