probably, if you could find a way to vent it. that's pretty much half the size of my stove, which is a 12 inch section of 6 inch diameter pipe.

I've seen my Candoil lantern heat up my 3-man dome tent to 45 F. at -5 F. outside temps (with two people inside) so why wouldn't a converted Caldera Cone do at least as well?


THE key to efficient heating is to pipe combustion air in from the outside to the stove. It's cold and dense W/ a richer O2 content and ya ain't suckin' up warm inside air for combustion. All efficient woodstoves in homes do teh same thing. Plains Indians also had that setup for their tepee fires.

with the stove near the bottom of the tent this is effectively what you have.. trust me, it's warm enough, you don't need t resort to sillyness.
