Hot Tent with a Caldera Cone

[Atif Khan]

Has anyone tried heating their mid with a Caldera Cone in wood burning mode? I have a Solomid XL and was wondering whether, with one door open and the cone sitting in the vestibule area on the open side, sufficient heat would radiate into the tent.

I have a lot of experience with Caldera Cones in wood burning mode.  I cannot speak to the heating question you raise, but I know there is always considerable risk of sparks with these cones when burning wood, especially when adding fresh fuel. I would not take the chance.

Atif K, I have burned wood in a large Caldera Cone but not in the wood mode, just in the upright cone mode. I made a stainless steel basket to support twigs in the verticle position and would light the stack from the top. Lighting from the top is the most efficient way to burn twigs. The cone prevents sparks from going outward. The same procedure is used for burning twigs in my Kelly Kettles.
