Fantastic tent! I got one of the very first models and put it up this weekend. It was a beautiful weekend, but cold at night up in the Utah mountains. The springbar tent and winterwell hot stove combo worked exceptionally well. Set up basic camp in about 2 hours (including the stove install). It's big (1400 sq. ft) and tall (one of my guests was 6'3" and he didn't have to duck at all). I've lived in tinier space in a New York City studio apartment! As for the wood at night, you'll be up about every 2 hours to restock your stove if you are burning pine firewood. Think ahead and burn some hard wood and you can probably wake up only once. I was using the Woodlander Large model winnerwell stove. If I was doing it over, I'd go with the Nomad series (you get 4 support legs instead of just 3 this way). Exceptional quality and detail everywhere. Well done, Mr. Kirkham!
