I love camping with a teepee and wood stove. I like the stove even more when it is cold, rainy and raw and you REALLY appreciate it. Camping with a wood stove and teepee in the summer or when the weather is clear is sort of blah. Why bother with the stove? But when it is raw outside and you are wet you feel immensely self-sufficient drying out by the wood stove.
Another benefit of the wood stove is that you are not limited to 'quick' freeze dried type meals. You can cook meals slowly over the wood stove. One night we even had pasta with an alfredo sauce seasoned with morel mushrooms. MMMMMmmmm. Try getting that meal in a 'just add boiling water' packet.
On our last trip we needed the wood stove. There was a lot of cold and raw weather. Having the wood stove made the trop enjoyable. Patrick
