Bell tent stove.

Personally (and I know nothing about either stove) - I'd go with the square one as it'll pack more efficiently.
One of the reasons I like my Frontier is the weight and pack size.
If you have a trailer or a van its not an issue but if you just have a car like me either of those two along with the bell-tent is most of the boot gone already.
Both look very nice though

I like the square one too, but I would be delighted with either. The one on the left looks like it is three legged which could help if pitched on uneven ground (might just be the angle of the photo though). I know ideally you should pitch a bell tent on even ground, but for me it has not always been possible. And I also like the handle and vents on the right hand one. Good luck with your quest for a new stove.
I've got the small square one if I'm right in thinking it's the one they sell on the Solepad website.it works well for a little stove n well built

Yes that's the one, have you had any problems with it yours ? Is it easy to carry about ? Thanks.
No problems as said its a neat little wood burner and well made.these stoves are smaller than you'd think but plenty big enough too warm your tent.youll be sat in your undies once you've got it rasping..thats the idea though any bigger of a stove and you'll be burning yer tent down..it's not heavy at all as long as your not carrying any real distance.

Cheers, I am sure I will have a few. What was the coldest weather wise have you used the stove ? I am hoping to do a few days in mid winter.
When I use my stove in the tent in winter, I use an eco fan on the top to move the heat round, they are not essential though( I just love gadgets) They are expensive though. Not as expensive as the Vulcan stove fan though. Soul Pad seem to have a great reputation as well, if you decide to go for their stove. Plenty of insulation on the tent floor would be good too for winter.
I've not used it yet in mid winter yet but I am planning too do a Christmas camp with it probably next year.i ve had it going in a particular cold February a few years back and it was fine I'd happily camp in the snow with confidence.what I will say if your unfamiliar with these types of stove is that's it's not really possible too get an ember bed n you'll always have too maintain the fire on a regular basis .easily done with a big pile of kindling but come 4 in the morning when the fires gone out the tent will be cold.i have 3 of the big surplus artic sleeping bags for me and my family they can be had for about 30 quid each on eBay.i just keep a big pile of kindling ready next too the fire ready n if I wake up in the night I get it rasping again easy.

my friend has built me one of these: http://www.instructables.com/id/Woodburning-Stove-from-sheet-steel/ for my 5m bell tent. bought a soulpad tent gaskety thing for putting the pipe out through the roof. Hopefully going to get it this weekend!
