We take our Frontier Stove nowadays. Nice to sit around in most weathers, you can cook on it, it's safe - as long as you don't leave it unattended whilst people who don't know what they are are around..... I've not come across a site that doesn't allow them. Fit a spark arrestor, bung on the appropriate lengths of flu pipe & you're away. One of the best camping items I've bought in 2013. I use it in the garden too - only weighs 10kg.

I really like the look of these, but I read they won't adequately heat up a 5m bell tent.

Hi Autopilot i have a frontier stove for my 5m bell tent and it performs very well, i think its adequate for 3 seasons . I found that the Eco logs from the garden center work best, better than kiln dried hardwood logs, much less work to do in keeping the fire topped up which can be a chore with real wood cutting the logs up etc.I normally start off with the log in a wrapper that burns for 2 hours and then add eco logs as and when i need to and the tent gets so warm its amazing i love it. I will be investing in one of those stove top fans that work on the principle of heat rising and spinning a fan to circulate the warmth around the tent.
Take ours in Winter - not as a tent heater in it's own right though. They chuck some heat out that's for sure. Only niggle is the diameter of the flu pipes are a bit narrow & can tar up quickly depending on the wood - pine especially. Needs regular brushing out.
Don't tend to go for heaters in Winter - that's what Belgium Army woollen blankets are for!!!!
