Normally used under an awning with a gathering of us having a drink, It's kept outside till the coals are glowing and really warm and the initial smoke has died, then took into the tent.

Daft question from a non bell tent owner....and slightly off topic.........But....

Can you get inner tents for a bell tent? or....as in any pic Ive seen you sleep in the main tent...as well as live there??...Im thinking teenage daughter here...and the need for privacy when changing for bed etc....

On the heating front....As most of you seem to have open fires outside...I heard of a wee trick with clay plant pots....You heat the plant pot on or near the fire...At night you carry heated plant pot(with tongs or similar) into the tent...place on a suitable stand...the clay retains the heat through the night and keeps you warn without fear of smoke/ash/gas or carbon (depending on the stove you use) fumes being emitted..Suppose the pot would work if placed near a gas fire to heat....Though I personally have never tried this.....

Don't get an inner - it spoils it.  The space is the thing.  Just use a separate pup tent for changing etc.  What do other Bell owners think?

got the inner, don't like using it (tried it 1 night just to see what it was like)

BUT it is warmer

same reason, ruins the whole appeal of the tent to me, i like the big round room and space

with the inner..

Great pics Val - the night-time one looks really amazing.  I'm looking forward to winter camping (with a stove!) this year and that's just changed my mind about using an inner.

i quite like the norwegian army one
