We will most likely go with a eskimo ice fishing hut or a type of garage quick shelter. Another AKer uses the garage shelter with a stove jack sewn in.
Cabelas tents have really went down hill. Prices for other hot tents is just a bit too much for us. The arctic oven and a few others. Intrigued by this one. https://luxe-hiking-gear.com/collections/lightweight-camping-tents/products/hercules-hot-tent-8p-wood-stove-vent Just the lack of a rain fly over the rest of it makes me pause. We have canvas wall tents but where we are starting to go there is no trees to use and do not want to pack all the extra gear in the boat. We had a tent failure in heavy rain when we went berry picking.

We have been using a 10x10 popup with one of those tents that goes inside of them.
Work great, really roomy. |

It is very hard to find a tent that will take rain and wind with out being super expensive. Looked at arctic oven tents but way out of my price range for how little we would use it. |

I've heard horror stories about long timelines for order fulfillment, non-existent customer service, and lack of build quality from Luxe. Your best bet would be to cruise the hunting forums or Facebook groups for a lightly used Seek Outside, Kifaru, etc.

Most likely narrowed it down to this tent.
Been reading on rokslide for a few weeks now. https://seekoutside.com/8-person-tipi-pre After talking with some relatives that use a eskimo ice fishing shelter. With all the rain we have had they had trouble with leaks and moisture inside. They used both a wood stove and propane stove. |

Their customer service is terrible. |
