Yes, you mentioned that on the last page.
While I don't think anything will replace wood for the big tents, there is a time and place for these little heaters.
An ice fishing tent is a prime example.
I use a wood stove in my outfitters tent, and I'm pretty sure nothing will ever replace it.
But hauling in things the size of a stove, chimney and wood just for a couple nights on the ice doesn't make a lot of sense.
Nevermind the fact that embers and plastic/nylon tents don't mix well.
But yes, for sheer output and affordability it's pretty tough to beat an air-tight, in most cases.
