What are people using as far as wood stoves go? I am wanting one to use in my black diamond-esque pyramind tarp tent thing this winter, so a chimney is essential as well.

I assume you want to heat tent and cook on wood stove?  Do you want to haul it on your bike?

I made a 9x9x25 sheetmetal stove to heat a homemadewall tent.  The stove is designed for for car camping or a short sled pull.  If I remember, 20 lbs complete  with legs and pipes (I went heavy on the sheet metal gauge for durabilty.



I mainly built the tent and stove to prove or disprove all this stuff I read about camping in sub zero F degree weather and being in shortsleaves in a hot tent:



Hot tenting is total luxury.

A bit out of season for much activity, but you can get a ton of ideas from the forum on this website:

Some of the posters have very light setups that include tent and stove.

Yeah, five pounds is kinda heavy...though i am sure that you could make the stove way lighter if you really wanted to!
