Base Camp Tents

..will you? Any other performance requirements? such as non-flammable, weight, cost, double/single wall, free-standing/staked, etc..

I will not be carrying this tent for any real distance. Cost is a factor, I would like to keep it under $750 dollars. I would think, that for sheer comfort, i.e. reduction in moisture level inside, a double wall would be good but I have no prejudices, if you've got something in mind that would work otherwise I'm okay with that too. Don't care if it's freestanding or staked either. I wouldn't mind something that had a capability to cook inside or around with a stove designed for that application so I think a flame retardant material might be optimal. I don't know if that's realistic or not. I guess I was thinking that the guys that camp out on Everest have some way to warm liquids inside the tent but that might be an incorrect assumption. Thanks!

How about something you can even have a fire inside? If I grow up I would like to have a Moskoselkatan:

It's definitely not leight weight and it'll cost you big $$$. The 10400 Varrie Tentipi 5 cp Model should be ok. It's cotton fabric so NO condensation problems. IIRC costs about $2000!

These tents are nice in that you can cook in them, but I’m not sure how they meet your other criteria (no floor, single wall). You can also order no-see-um nets along with the tent.

The Hilleberg Nallo 4 GT would seem to fit the bill. Note that this the current version has an even better venting system. In the GT version there would be an excellent vestibule area that handles storage and possible cooking. Cost is well under your limit.
