That experience obviously has me less excited about the big buddy heater or any other open heater.
Has anyone got a system for a propane stove jack in a pop up tent? I've got the 650 xd and want to try a Nu Way stove or something similar that vents external.
Thanks!

I ordered a Nu Way 4000 stove this winter. Other than the ordering part (which had poor communication and lengthy delivery), have been overall pretty happy with it. Using it to heat an Otter Vortex 75 sq ft tent and it keeps things pleasant @ 1/3 power and is toasty warm @ 2/3 power. Doesn't much more space (other than the stove pipe) than a Buddy heater, nice dry heat and don't worry about CO anymore (still keep an alarm in the tent just in case). Have overnighted in it with 2 people around -12 to -15C and used about 1/2 of a 20lb tank.
Currently vent it out one of the upper side windows through a home made stove jack that velcros to the window space. Not the prettiest, but it works and saves me from making a hole through the roof and seems sturdy and safe enough. Adding some radiant fins and a damper to the stove pipe made a significant difference in efficiency & heat output.
