I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for a hot tent stove that has decent heat retention or ideas on how to improve stove efficiency during the night to slow the burn? Currently we use a Kni-Co Alaskan Jr. It pumps out good heat when the stove is stoked, but because of the relatively small firebox and thin gauge steel, it loses heat quickly even when airflow is reduced. This is a bit of a nuisance when sleeping as we have to wake up every hour and a half to 2 hours to add wood.
As we do haul our gear into camp locations, weight is somewhat of a factor and I know options are limited because of this. One stove I have looked at is the Winnerwell Nomad series that is made of thicker gauge steel than the Kni-Co's are. The large version is 34lbs, which could be workable in regards to hauling. Has anyone used this stove and if so, what are your thoughts on it? Do titanium stoves have better heat retention or is their main advantage the weight savings and durability from warping?
I have considered adding fiberglass gasket around the door to make it more airtight, but don't know if that would make much of a difference or not. Does a stack robber help? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
